Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 8, 2008 -- Join ChefShop.com (http://www.ChefShop.com) as we welcome Marcella Hazan to Seattle to celebrate the launch of her long awaited memoirs, Amarcord: Marcella Remembers (Gotham Books, 2008.

Over the past 35 years, Marcella has become "America's Godmother of Italian Cooking," producing six classic cookbooks, receiving countless awards (including a knighthood from the Italian government,) and teaching countless students (famous and infamous alike,) in kitchens around the world.

Her latest book chronicles her fascinating and sometimes harrowing path from being a science teacher in a small Italian town, to becoming America's Italian culinary icon who literally changed the way we eat and live at the table.

The Evening with Marcella Hazan event will include a full meal of food and wine. Of course, it will also include many stories and an opportunity to meet the always-inspiring Marcella and her lifelong collaborator and writing partner, Victor Hazan, himself an authority on Italian food and wine.

The fee for the evening, which includes a full meal and wine is $110 with a copy of an autographed hardcover copy of "Amarcord: Marcella Remembers," and $82.50 without a copy of the book.

Doors open on Tuesday at 6:00 PM for shopping and sipping. The evening's brief program starts at 7:00, with a buffet to follow.
