Marcella's Italian Kitchen

In this, her most personal book, Marcella Hazan (the “godmother of Italian cooking”) shares the keys to good Italian cooking—and her rules for getting it right. Through almost 250 timeless recipes, both beloved classics and less well-known regional delicacies,  Hazan traverses the country from top to tip, giving home cooks everything they need to replicate the true flavors of Italy. Dishes like Risotto with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil; Fettucine with Lemon; and Venetian Almond Cake; as well as Vegetable Lasagna; Roast Pork Loin with Juniper and Rosemary; and Cappuccino Gelato showcase the diversity of Italian cuisine. Packed with lifetime's wisdom, delivered in Hazan’s inimitable way,  it is a glorious celebration of “simple food that has only one objective: to taste good.”

Newly revised and updated for today’s readers by Victor Hazan,  her husband and longtime collaborator—and with a new foreword by bestselling author Molly Baz—Marcella’s Italian Kitchen deserves pride of place in every kitchen.
