Julia Child said Marcella Hazan was her mentor in all things Italian, and she was not alone. Hazan taught North Americans that there was more to Italian food than pizza and meatballs. She wrote what remains the definitive book on the subject (Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking) and her tomato sauce is second to nonna. A science teacher in Italy who had never cooked before her marriage, to Victor Hazan, a Sephardic Jew who brought her to New York, she made it her mission to revive the flavours and traditions she remembered from her youth, started giving cooking lessons, and was taken up by the New York Times. Italian cooking is simple, she insisted. But it isn’t easy. This is her story.
