Bold Fork Cookbook Club: ESSENTIALS OF CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKING by Marcella Hazan

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join us for the October meeting of the BOLD FORK COOKBOOK CLUB!

Here’s how it works: everyone will prepare a dish from ESSENTIALS OF CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKING 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION by Marcella Hazan (a couple of days after you sign up, you’ll have access to a spreadsheet where attendees list their chosen dishes.)

Then we’ll gather in the shop and share a feast! We’ll talk through the process of procuring ingredients, challenges and unexpected pleasures of the cooking process and many other things related to ESSENTIALS OF CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKING.

If you purchase a copy of the book from us with your ticket, you can pick it up in our store, or have it shipped for an additional cost. 

ABOUT THE COOKBOOK

A timeless collection of classic Italian recipes—from Basil Bruschetta to the only tomato sauce you’ll ever need (the secret ingredient: butter)—beautifully illustrated and featuring new forewords by Lidia Bastianich and Victor Hazan

“If this were the only cookbook you owned, neither you nor those you cooked for would ever get bored.” —Nigella Lawson

Marcella Hazan introduced Americans to a whole new world of Italian food. In this, her magnum opus, she gives us a manual for cooks of every level of expertise—from beginners to accomplished professionals.

This is the go-to Italian cookbook for students, newlyweds, and master chefs, alike. Beautifully illustrated with line drawings throughout, Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking brings together nearly five hundred of the most delicious recipes from the Italian repertoire in one indispensable volume. As the generations of readers who have turned to it over the years know (and as their spattered and worn copies can attest), there is no more passionate and inspiring guide to the cuisine of Italy.
