Marcella

Marcella Hazan didn’t just teach Italian cooking—she changed the way America eats. Fearless, passionate, and exacting, she introduced authentic recipes to millions. Julia Child called Marcella “my mentor in all things Italian.” Featuring Jacques Pépin, Danny Meyer, April Bloomfield, and Lidia Bastianich, this intimate portrait reveals the bold woman who forever shaped home kitchens.

“A beautiful and delicious film”

Ken Burns

“A Comfort-Food Valentine to an Italian Culinary Queen”

Variety

“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 Sun

“She changed, thoroughly and irreversibly, the way Italian food is cooked, eaten and talked about in the United States.”
