In response to "I will need an audio analysis of her pronounciations of "spaghetti" and "ricotta" to judge who is a better cook -- nm*" by Strongbad

Where Lidia grew up is no longer part of Italy, so I wouldn't go by accent.

I have books by both, and I'd say that Lidia is better when it comes to authentic, regional cooking, while Giada's strengths are in Italian-American variations and Tuscan-style dishes where the emphasis is on freshness and quality of the ingredients, quick cooking, etc

But they're both good.

  - Then you're wrong - in Italian, c followed by e or i has a ch sound. bra-CHO-lay (more or less) -- (edited) - Roger More Nov 24, 13:29 2
