Description of  Taste: My Life Through Food

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