Interviewing Lidia Bastianich

Posted on February 9, 2015 Updated on February 9, 2015

When I told the long story that was Gala 2014, I told you about the interview that I was fortunate enough to be able to have with Lidia Bastianich, 2014 Gala chef. And now it’s here, ready to be seen by all. There isn’t too much to say (an English major not having too much to say… that must be a first!) because I think the video speaks for itself. I was a little nervous, but who wouldn’t be in the presence of Lidia? As the only in-person interview Lidia did that weekend, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and am so excited to share her wisdom with everyone. If you were able to attend the “Meet the Chef” event on 10/31/14, you know how inspiring and wise Lidia is and if didn’t, this short interview will give you just a glimpse of how amazing she really is. There’s nothing better than hearing an expert talk about something they are so passionate about and that is definitely what this interview is. Lidia Bastianich’s passion is food and this is just one example of wonderful things you can learn when passion and knowledge meet. Enjoy!
