Marcella Hazan died a couple of days ago.
This is horrible news and it saddens me greatly.
A lot of you probably don’t know who she is. That’s ok – here are a few things to bring you up to speed:
1 – she’s the Italian version of Julia Child, bringing authentic Italian food to America in the 50s onwards. (Don’t know Julia Child? Watch the movie “Julie and Julia”. Right now. Come back here when you’ve done that. Go on, shoo!)
