Taste: My Life Through Food
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Named a Notable Book of the Year 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.

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.

This was like a supersized episode of Stanley's Searching for Italy show, which I love. Also lots of background on the movie Big Night, one of my favorites. Lots of fun.
Laugh out loud funny, delightfully witty, heartwarming, and full to the brim with mouth-watering recipes.
