Pull up a chair for our September Cookbook Club, and this month we are cooking from one of the most essential Italian cookbooks ever written.

HOW IT WORKS

Everyone prepares a dish from ESSENTIALS OF CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKING by Marcella Hazan ahead of the event. Once you register you'll receive access to a shared spreadsheet where you and fellow attendees can sign up for the recipe of your choice. Then on September 24th we gather in the kitchen at Hill's Kitchen to share the meal, talk through the author's perspective, and swap notes on our own experiences cooking through the book.

Cookbook Club members also receive 15% off in-store for the month of September (appliances excluded).

If you'd like a copy of the book you can add one to your ticket at checkout and pick it up in-store. Books will be ready for pickup on Tuesday, September 8th.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking is the definitive guide to Italian cuisine, widely regarded as one of the most important cookbooks ever published in the English language. Bringing together Marcella Hazan's two classic works into one authoritative volume, it covers everything from fresh pasta and risotto to braises, roasts, and the iconic tomato sauce made with nothing more than tomatoes, butter, and an onion. This is the book that taught a generation of home cooks how to cook Italian food the right way.

Her approach was always rooted in simplicity, quality ingredients, and an unwavering respect for tradition. She passed away in 2013, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape home kitchens around the world.
