"From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen"-- Provided by publisher.
Tucci grew up in an Italian family that put great import on food: the quality of ingredients, the careful preparation, the passing on of family recipes and cultural culinary traditions. He has written cookbooks, become involved in food-related charities, and has probably spent more time focusing on food than he does on acting. This is Tucci's memoir of his life in and out of the kitchen, of good times and bad, of five-star meals and burned dishes. With a few recipes scattered through the chapters. -- adapted from Introduction, jacket, and perusal of book.

Quirky submitted by mandevil on March 22, 2022, 4:26pm Childhood memories, working as an actor, marriage, children, cooking and enjoying food and a poignant struggle with tongue cancer. Stanley Tucci is one of my favorite people and it was fun to get a peek into his life

Very relatable submitted by Lilian Anderson on June 26, 2022, 8:57am If food - eating it, preparing it, shopping and traveling for it - are part of your upbringing and life, I think you'll enjoy this book. Informative, humorous and touching all at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed the read!

Tucci for days submitted by A2AE on June 30, 2022, 11:08am You must pair this with Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy so you can see him explore his Italian roots after reading about his life and experience with food. A perfect combo!

Fun Read by Versatile Italian American Actor submitted by ekjensen on August 27, 2022, 1:47pm Actor of Italian descent anecdotally describes meals with family/friends, on personal and film set travels from birth to present day (with story about his bout with tongue cancer) PS Simultaneously CNN's Searching for Italy with Stanley Tucci!

Comfort Read submitted by renarde7 on June 12, 2023, 11:01am If you love food or Stanley Tucci, but especially if you love both, read this book. Fantastic storytelling, wit, and delicious recipes abound.

Funny submitted by Mtadams on July 29, 2023, 8:18am Very funny, especially the audiobook read by Tucci

delightful read, even better audiobook! submitted by annyhanny on July 5, 2024, 1:30pm Stanley Tucci - versatile actor, global traveler, heartfelt Italian - offers new dimension to his story in this savory memoir. While not every turn in Stanley's life has been happy, he highlights the best and the worst with clear-eyed narration, punctuated by memorable events and foods, and plenty of wry humor. Stanley voices his own audiobook - even the recipes come alive with his world-class raconteur skills.

Four thumbs up! submitted by pamhockey25 on August 22, 2024, 11:49am If you enjoy eating, traveling, Stanley Tucci movies or expanding your horizons, this book is for you. If you are Italian or have a heritage that taps into food, you'll enjoy this book. The book includes recipes and reminiscences that will remind you of things from your own life. The book has wit and humor and is an all-around enjoyable read. Seeing the other reviews, I bet it is even better as an audiobook!
