Website / Trailer:
Marcella Hazan did not just teach Italian cooking – she changed the
way American eats. Fearless, passionate, and exciting, she introduced
authentic recipes to millions. Julia Child called Marcella “my mentor in
all things Italian.” Featuring Jacque Pepin, Danny Meyer, April Bloomfield
and Lidia Bastianich, this award-winning intimate portrait reveals the
bold woman who shaped home kitchens. From the director: “While
Marcella's story would be told as a biography, it is also about the act of
cooking. So, I relocated our cameras into the kitchens of several of
our commentators as they told Marcella’s life story with utensils in
hand, following her iconic recipes.” This documentary entertains like a
feature film and —prepare to get very hungry.
