Chef Lidia Bastianich will be honored today by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) with the Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award at the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Lidia Bastianich says, “It is a tremendous honor to be recognized and receive the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award for having shared my passion for food with TV audiences for over 25 years. Cooking together and sharing food remain a common denominator of all cultures. Food nurtures, it connects diverse people, and it brings families, friends, and strangers together. There is no better place to be on this earth, especially in these trying times, than sharing food at a table with others. That simple idea has been the basis of my life’s work. Hence, as I say in my shows, 'Tutti a Tavola a Mangiare!’ Mille Grazie to NATAS for this honor.”
