About the speaker

Giuliano Hazan

Giuliano Hazan is the award-winning author of the best-selling cookbooks Every Night Italian, The Classic Pasta Cookbook, How to Cook Italian, Thirty Minute Pasta, and Hazan Family Favorites. He teaches Italian cooking classes throughout the US and at his school in Italy. Hazan is the only child of Marcella Hazan, the godmother of Italian cooking in America. Through six cookbooks and a lifetime of teaching, she preached a gospel of excellent ingredients, simplicity, and tradition that changed the way we cook. She lived a life of food, friends, and passion. Though she passed on in the fall of 2013, her influence in the food world lives on through her son and his passion for cooking and eating with family.
