"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!
