Marcella Hazan changed how we cook and experience Italian food. A disabled woman trained as a scientist, Marcella never cooked until she immigrated to America. But through her cookbooks and teaching—and with an uncompromising commitment to Italian tradition—her impact was felt in millions of American home kitchens. A new film tells her extraordinary, improbable, delicious story.
