Taste

From award-winning actor and foodobsessiveStanley 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 inThe Tucci CookbookandThe Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the savory recipes and into the compelling stories behind them.

Tasteis 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 filmsBig NightandJulie & 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 Stanleys signature wry humor,Tasteis for fans of Bill Buford, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichland anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
