For the past few days I’ve occasionally been leaving my quiet, rural retreat to join the crowds thronging the streets of Victorian London. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Review of Susan McClary, Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality." ![]() Higgins provides an essay-by-essay review, and includes what she calls the "missing bibliography" of feminist works that laid the foundation for McClary's work.

This September, nine years following her death, Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking was published, bringing together her two most-beloved cookbooks in a single 30 th-anniversary volume. Born in Cesenatico, Italy, in 1924, she died on September 29, 2013. She became so well known that Bloomingdale’s 59 th Street store in New York City installed and named a kitchen boutique for her - Marcella Hazan’s Italian Kitchen-stocking it with her homemade pasta Bolognese and Tuscan olive oil. She advocated for high-quality ingredients, picked in season and simply prepared. Her approach was revolutionary, each recipe clear and thorough, yet concise. With six cookbooks and years of teaching cooking classes, she distilled the very essence of Italian cooking, making it available and accessible to the average American cook at a time when Italian cooking was still considered exotic. Known as the godmother of Italian cooking, Marcella Hazan is revered in the cooking community. ![]() |
