I've had my eye on this cookbook since Ella announced she was writing it. I can't wait to snag a copy. And man, Maggie, it's dangerous to sit down and listen to your podcast. I'd now love to quit my day job, bury myself in Marcella Hazan's books, and cook my heart away, ha! Seriously, SO much great cooking inspo here. Thanks for doing what you do. P.S. I've never made a souflé, and now I feel like I must!

Thanks for this, Katie! Time to call in “sick” for a Marcella day.

Well now I have Marcella’s Italian Kitchen on hold at the library so I can make both the OG cabbage lasagne and the vodka sauce version

Holy crap. This recipe looks absolutely insane. YUMMMMMMM. Delicious. (Also, Stone & Skillet English Muffins are so good!)

Oh this cabbage and shells looks like such a good potluck option
