Product Description:


Since the publication of her first book, The Classic Italian Cookbook, more than 20 years ago, Marcella Hazan has been hailed as the queen of Italian cooking in America.Marcella, whose name conjures up a splendid world of food for the devoted millions who love her books and attend her cooking classes, is back again with her finest book yet, Marcella Cucina. Filled with the passion and personality of its author, it is a book not only of fine food and its careful preparation but of personal reminiscences and penetrating commentary about the sensual pleasure of food and its place in our lives.



In vivid introductory essays and seductive headnotes, the narrative of an extraordinary culinary life unfolds. With each memory of a trip, a meal or a flavor, we are treated to the perspective of a great cook and teacher--one who believes that the finest Italian cooking is found in the home. In Marcella Cucina, she focuses on regional cooking, turning her sharp eye to every area of Italy and offering a rich array of flavors and textures from cities and villages alike. Best of all, Marcella cooks at your side with easy-to-follow instructions and lavish full-color photographs that teach you her techniques--from preparing homemade pasta to cleaning artichokes--and allow you flawlessly to re-create her magic in your own kitchen.



Amazon.com Review:
Marcella Hazan's Marcella Cucina is a jewel: the recipes glow with the diverse flavors of Italian regional dishes, the instructions are precise, and the full-color photographs are a fine complement to Hazan's writing, which is both clear and alluring. Along with recipes, tested to perfection, Hazan shares warm, personal stories along with snapshots of Italian life and her usual caring advice. The diversity of dishes in Marcella Cucina runs from Zucchini and Thyme Pasta Sauce to Fish in Crazy Water, Assunta's Beans, Stewed Beef Cubes with Pickles, Capers and Red Wine, and Yogurt and Sambuca Cake.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous
The Fricassed Chicken with Olives and Cherry Tomatoes alone is worth the price of this book. It is fabulous, and is worthy of any dinner party. And so simple in the Hazan tradition. I didn't like the scallion pasta, but generally you cannot go wrong with this book. And as for Marcella cooking for her family, well, I think if there were more of it in the world we would all be better off.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Early Days
I have been too busy (aren't we all at this time of year?) to do anything more than browse the pages but so far I'm impressed. The book fell open at a recipe for biscuits -- cookies if you're American -- and I wanted to make them immediately. I didn't come across anything that required 'foreign' or hard to find ingredients and nothing seemed too complex to make in my home kitchen. Everything reads as delicious! If this review had been requested a month or so later I'm sure I'd have included one or two more stars.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Nice Recepies
I like the way the recepies are presented. Her book is full of technics that help one make an authentic Italian dish. I tries a risoto dish, a scallop, and a fish dish and they were total success, thanks to her suggestions.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A book put to good use.
This book was given as a gift to an Italian friend who had the following comments: The recipes seem to be more authentic Italian style with excellent flavors. The ingredients have been easy to find and the shopping for them fun. The narration provided is very helpful and the recipes easy to follow. The high quality pictures add to the enjoyment of trying new dishes.
