KCPT Members enjoyed a four course dinner of Lidia’s favorite recipes and wine pairings at Lidia’s Kansas City restaurant on Sunday, November 4, 2012. Lidia Bastianich visited with attendees about her passion for food, family and her appreciation for Public Broadcasting and KCPT. Ed Matheny, KCPT’s first president, presented Lidia with a copy of his book "The Audacious Rise of KCPT," which chronicles the station’s first 50 years and includes Lidia’s contributions to Public Television’s culinary programs.
