Chef Giuliano Hazan

Teaches at Living Your Wild Creativity

Giuliano is the only child of Marcella (and Victor) Hazan, the godmother of Italian cooking, who introduced Americans to authentic Italian cuisine with her landmark books, The Classic Italian Cookbook and Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking.

Just like his mom, Giuliano’s true passion has always been teaching authentic Italian flavors. He has done this in his many books, starting with The Classic Pasta Cookbook, an international bestseller and nominated for the coveted James Beard Award. He has also traveled the world, teaching the flavors and philosophies of Italian cooking to appreciative audiences at the Smithsonian Institution in DC, luxury cruise ships sailing around the world, and as far away as Japan. In 2007, the International Association of Culinary Professionals named him Cooking Teacher of the Year. Together with his wife, Lael, he runs an acclaimed cooking school in Verona, Italy featured on the Television Food Network and Gourmet Magazine and ranked in the top ten in the world by major media outlets including Food & Wine Magazine.
