Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking
What can we say about Marcella Hazan that hasn’t been said before? Perhaps something like "you are a goddess among women, and a fabulous cook and teacher, and our lives would not have been as rich without you and your influence”? To the divine Signora Hazan we say “grazie mille, Marcella" for bringing the joy of Italian food into our previously sad and culinarily-challenged homes.
Marcella Hazan ranks right up there with Julia Child as a cutting-edge culinary trailblazer. Her passion for her native Italy and its incredible food, and her determination to share it with the rest of us has earned her an exalted place in the cooking Hall of Fame.
The Essentials of Italian Cooking is a compendium of two of Marcella’s classic and ground-breaking cookbooks: The Classic Italian Cookbook and More Classic Italian Cooking (both now out of print).
If you love to cook and love Italian food, your cookbook collection is simply not complete without this volume. It is “perfetto”. Lovingly endorsed and highly recommended by eyeItalia.
The Essentials of Italian Cooking: Published by Knopf; 704 pages, hardcover; 9.6 x 7.3"
