As home cooks who have used Marcella's classic books for years (and whose copies are now splattered and worn) know, there is no one more gifted at teaching us just what we need to know about the taste and texture of a dish and how to achieve it, and there is no one more passionate and inspiring about authentic Italian food. With the publication of the bestselling Classic Italian Cookbook and Second Classic Italian Cookbook, Marcella Hazan deservedly became one of the most. Designed as a basic manual for cooks of all levels of expertise-from beginners to accomplished professionals-it offers both an accessible and comprehensive guide to techniques and ingredients and a collection of the most delicious recipes from the Italian repertoire. Essentials of Italian Cooking is a culinary bible for anyone looking to master the art of Italian cooking, bringing together Marcella Hazan's most beloved books, The Classic Italian Cook Book and More Classic Italian Cooking, in a single volume, updated and expanded with new entries and 50 new recipes. The most important, consulted, and enjoyed Italian cookbook of all time, from the woman who introduced Americans to a whole new world of Italian food. She worked her way up to frying, sheathing slices of zucchini in pastella, a batter of flour and water. Proceeds benefit the Pima County Public Library system, which serves Tucson and southern Arizona. Hazan began modestly, with soups made from potatoes and leeks, or cannellini and parsley.
