Taste: My Life Through Food

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Named a Notable Book of 2021 by NPR and The Washington Post

From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.

Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the kitchen table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the savory recipes and into the compelling stories behind them.​

Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about his growing up in Westchester, New York; preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner; and teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burned dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

Written with Stanley's signature wry humor, Taste is for fans of Bill Buford, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichl--and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.

Actually made me dislike Tucci. Had a rather holier than though attitude throughout the entire book.

Such a fun read. I especially enjoyed that the author narrates the audio version. The downside of the audio version is that you don't have a copy of the recipes.

I love Stanley Tucci and so I want to read anything he writes. The book is the person. It's him in writing. And that made it delightful.

Pure Delight! I adored Stanley Tucci before, but love him even more now.

His sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart wrenching stories will have you enthralled and laughing along with him.

If you at all consider yourself a Foodie, love to cook, or just love to eat, you must listen (yes, listen) to this book. It will bring you so much joy and make your mouth water. I cannot wait to try out so many if these recipes.
