“Giuliano Hazan is as American as apple pie, and at the same time he is as Italian as torta di mele. This unique position makes him the perfect person to explain to Americans how Italians eat—why food and dining are so wonderful in Italy and how we can re-create the experience here in the United States. Hooray! (Or should I say alé!?)”
