Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian-American family that gathered around the kitchen table every evening. In this book, he not only shares a variety of recipes, but also tells amazing stories associated with them. “Taste” is a reflection on life and food, interspersed with the actor’s stories about his childhood and youth in the USA and current life in Britain; about working on the films “Big Night”, “Julie and 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-cooked dinners - touches and tugs at 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).
