San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents: "Marcella," 2025 Thursday June 25, 7 p.m. La Paloma Theatre 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 an uncompromising commitment to Italian tradition – her impact was felt in millions of American home kitchens. The story of Marcella’s extraordinary life is told by friends, family, and culinary stars including Jacques Pépin, Danny Meyer, April Bloomfield, Lidia Bastianich, her son Giuliano Hazan, and her husband and writing partner, Victor Hazan.
