Make a Dish Inspired by the Iconic Italian Cookbook Writer Marcella Hazan
One woman revolutionized Italian cuisine for millions of home cooks: Marcella Hazan. Her cookbooks helped Americans make the most of Italian ingredients and make meals that were simple yet embodied the flavors her upbringing in Italy. After she became a bestselling cookbook author, Hazan was instrumental in popularizing ingredients that were used in Italian cuisine like balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil. This collection of recipes feature the many of those ingredients we now have available grazie a Marcella!
