Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan
4.7/5
Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking is widely regarded as one of the definitive Italian cookbooks in the English language, and this 30th Anniversary Edition — illustrated by Karin Kretschmann, with new forewords by Lidia Bastianich and Victor Hazan, published by Knopf in September 2022 — gives the canonical text a handsome new life. This review assesses the book's content, organisation, and published critical reception, not a kitchen test.

Ingredienti: Marcella's Guide to the Market (A Cookbook Bestseller) by Marcella Hazan, Victor Hazan
4.6/5
Ingredienti is Marcella Hazan's final gift to the kitchen — a compact, authoritative guide to selecting, storing, and using the fresh produce, pantry staples, and salumi at the heart of Italian cooking, assembled from her handwritten notebooks by her husband and longtime collaborator Victor Hazan and published by Scribner in 2016. Critical coverage calls it "an indispensable reference volume for professional and home cooks," and chef Daniel Boulud names it "a timeless reference for any serious home cook." This review assesses the book's content, organisation, and published reception, not a kitchen test.
