Marcella Hazan changed how we cook and experience Italian food. A disabled woman trained as a scientist, Marcella never cooked until she immigrated to America. But through her cookbooks and teaching — and an uncompromising commitment to Italian tradition — her impact was felt in millions of American home kitchens. The story of Marcella’s extraordinary life is told by friends, family, and culinary stars including Jacques Pépin, Danny Meyer, April Bloomfield, Lidia Bastianich, her son Giuliano Hazan, and her husband and writing partner, Victor Hazan.
Ken Burns“A beautiful and delicious film”
Variety“A Comfort-Food Valentine to an Italian Culinary Queen”
The New York Sun“A feast for the eyes as well as the appetite. Spotlights so many mouth-watering meals that it wouldn’t be surprising if every viewer goes out for Italian food immediately afterward.”
The New York Times“She changed, thoroughly and irreversibly, the way Italian food is cooked, eaten and talked about in the United States.”
