More quotes by Marcella Hazan
The Italian comes to his table with the same open heart with which a child falls into his mother's arms, with the same easy feeling of being in the right place.
Marcella Hazan
[On cooking:] What you keep out is as significant as what you put in.
Marcella Hazan
Not everyone in Italy may know how to cook, but nearly everyone knows how to eat. Eating in Italy is one more manifestation of the Italian's age-old gift of making art out of life.
Marcella Hazan
I need to smell its smells, to hear its sounds, to see food in a pot that simmers, bubbles, sizzles. I enjoy the physical involvement of stirring, turning, poking, mashing, scraping.
Marcella Hazan
I don't cook 'concepts.' I use my head, but I cook from the heart, I cook for flavor.
Marcella Hazan
Eating in Italy is essentially a family art, practiced for and by the family. The finest accomplishments of the home cook are not reserved like the good silver and china for special occasions or for impressing guests, but are offered daily for the pleasure and happiness of the family group.
Marcella Hazan
What people do with food is an act that reveals how they construe the world.
