Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian-American family that gathered around the kitchen table every night. In this book, he not only shares a wide variety of recipes, but also tells the amazing stories behind them.
'Taste' is a reflection on life and food, interspersed with the actor's stories about his childhood and youth in the United States and his current life in Britain; about working on the films 'Big Night,' 'Julie & Julia,' and the documentary series 'Looking for Italy'; about love, family, and caring for children. Every step of this gastronomic journey—through simple and difficult times, through dinners in the best restaurants and burnt home meals—touches and touches the soul.
Filled with inimitable humor and self-irony, this book is written by 'a man who knows how to eat and how to live' (Guardian).
