says

Marcella Cucina invites you into the kitchen of Marcella Hazan, long considered the queen of Italian cuisine. This cookbook offers easy-to-follow instructions and techniques from Hazan’s practiced hands, which guide you in recreating classic Italian dishes of every style and variety. Here, you will find region-specific recipes, from the city and the countryside alike, all met with Hazan’s familiar passion and knowledge.

from the publisher

From the preface:
"An Italian speaker looking at this book would see the second word of the title, Cucina, as a verb, third person singular, thus reading the title as Marcella Cooks. That is precisely what this new work of mine is about: What I cook and how I cook. And a little bit about why I cook...

I hope the reader finds in this book not just recipes that sound good, but recipes that will taste good. I have tried to supply clues to the taste considerations that guided me as I made my choices about ingredients and procedures so that each recipe is as faithful an account as I can render of what took place when I was cooking it. All these are now just notes on a page, waiting for you to bring them to life. When you do, don't just play the notes, please. Think taste. Make music."

I bought this when I lived in New York and it opened up a world of Italian cooking, and revealed how it differed from the Italian American food on my doorstep. Everyone rightly reveres her Classic Italian Cooking, but this one’s where my love for Marcella began.
