Marcella Hazan was to Italian cuisine, what Julia Child was to American gastronomy. They were both geniuses. Both were practical, too.

I like lentils. Actually, as far as legumes go, I think lentils may be my favorite. The Latin Lover is, shall we say, less fond of them. A bad childhood memory. But I’m trying to convert him.
