She was born Marcella Polini in Cesenatico, a seaside town on the Adriatic coast, in the province of Emilia-Romagna (the capital of which is Bologna, Italy's food central), to an Italian expatriate mother from Beirut and an Italian father. Certainly, come the late 1980s, when British cooks began to look away from France and concentrate on Italy as a principal culinary inspiration, Hazan's recipes were widely praised by such leading culinary figures as Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers of the River Cafe whose books, in turn, emphasised the simplicity and freshness of Italian cookery. Her books were influential in Britain too, although Elizabeth David's Italian Food (1954) had given it a head start, later capitalised upon by writers such as Anna Del Conte and Patience Gray. This was a revelation to Americans, just as their supermarkets, frozen and convenience food and tomatoes "half-ripe, gassed, shuttled great distances and artificially quickened back to life" had greatly shocked Hazan when she first arrived in New York in 1955. She insisted on authentic ingredients, a light touch with stocks (or, more properly Italian, broths), sauces and flavourings such as garlic, and the use of fresh, seasonal produce. In a series of books from 1973, she called time on the masquerade of Italo-American overcooked pasta slathered in viscous tomato sauces and crowned with mountains of inappropriate cheese. Marcella Hazan, who has died aged 89, introduced America to the delights of proper Italian cooking.

But still everyone kept shoving me in the same direction.įor my first record deal, I’d signed with a label called Chrysalis Records. I knew it, the producers knew it, and the record company knew it. Everything sounded perfect-so perfect it was bland. Part of the issue was that the musicians whom the producers had hired were very precise players. The problem was that I sounded like Julie Andrews trying to sing rock. It was more subtle than all that, but also much worse-not something that could be fixed by a simple equipment change. It wasn’t that my voice sounded wrong or the drummer was off the beat. It wasn’t that the speakers were bad or the mics were low. As I sat there, listening to the playback from my first-ever recording session, I knew that something was off. It’s in this dangerous tinderbox that two families must finally confront their pasts.

No man is perfect, but Chambers certainly lived a life painted with the image of God. Backed by his personal experience, Chambers knew firsthand the power and calling to live relentlessly for Christ. Writer, evangelist, and teacher Oswald Chambers wrote My Utmost for His Highest. Every year, it leads more and more hearts to hunger for a life in full honor and attention to God. Never going out of print since it first hit shelves, My Utmost for His Highest gives the words of a man humbly living out his life full out for Christ. The devotional My Utmost for His Highest is like a timeless hymn, still speaking to people generations later. Though the hymns I’ve connected with were published longer ago than my familiarity, it was rooted in a consistent power: God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrew 13:8). I’ve shed tears, singing hymns that seemed uniquely composed for current events in my life. Still, it somehow captivated your heart today as you followed each word. Has a hymn ever resonated with your heart and mind? The hymn may have been written many years ago, even before the birth of your great-grandparents. |
