Stanley
Tucci is a movie star who loves good food. He can act and he can write
and he’s written one hell of a food-focused memoir. Taste: My Life Through
Food is Tucci’s account of growing up in an Italian household (his family
migrated from Italy to the US before he was born), eating hearty Italian fare
cooked by his mother. As he grows up, he holds on to the love of good food and makes
a conscious effort to eat well wherever he goes. Tucci has a wonderful way with
words and writes with a certain flamboyance, subtly dosed with his sardonic wit
and dry humour. He writes about the food he cooks and home – for his own family
as well as for guests – and about a selection of great restaurants (both big
and small, not necessarily expensive, often family-run) across the world, in
the US, in the UK and in Europe, where he’s had some memorable meals. Those
meals are described with elan – Tucci’s writing has a flair you’ll likely
enjoy. In fact, if you love to eat well and like to read books that are
all about food, Taste is one book you must absolutely read.
Taste: My Life Through Food is available on Amazon
