Amarcord

The beloved teacher and bestselling cookbook author Marcella Hazan talks about how she went from a little girl growing up in Emilia-Romagna to becoming America's godmother of Italian cooking. Raised in Cesenatico, a quiet fishing town on the northern Adriatic Sea, she eventually had her own cooking schools in New York, Bologna, and Venice and taught students from around the world. She'd write bestselling and award-winning cookbooks collect invitations to cook at top restaurants, and have thousands of loyal students and readers. When Marcella met the love of her life, Victor, they married and moved to New York City. She knew not a word of English or what's more surprising a single recipe.
