Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — February 24, 2005
He's like his mother. He has her familiar profile, he's a good cook, an in-demand cooking teacher and a best-selling author. He's like his father. He has his dark good looks with black hair that has gone to salt and pepper. He knows his wines, and he's an astute businessman.

Even though three generations of Hazans (Marcella and Victor, her husband of almost fifty years; Giuliano and his wife, Lael; and their two daughters) now reside on the west coast of Florida, there was no question about where the event would take place: at the 16th-century Villa Giona, outside Verona, Italy.

An Italian Classic

Newsweek — June 14, 2004

You Are How You Eat

The New York Times –
July 6, 2004
What greater pleasure than to whip up — and eat — risotto with truffles, pasta with porcini, homemade tortelloni filled with Swiss chard and ricotta. ... I have had the good fortune of growing up with parents who nurtured my passion for cooking and eating well. Some of my fondest memories are of times spent in the kitchen with my mother. I would stand with her at the stove and carefully stir the risotto — something my 5-year-old daughter now does at my side.
