Hailed as the godmother of Italian cooking in America, Marcella Hazan (1924-2013) did not learn to cook until she married and moved to New York in 1955. She began cooking for her husband using the Ada Boni cookbook, and became so proficient that in the 1960s she began teaching Italian cooking classes in her home. In 1969, she opened the School of Classic Italian Cooking. Her first cookbook, The Classic Italian Cook Book, received widespread acclaim and commendation. It was followed by five more award- winning cookbooks.
