Taste by Stanley Tucci
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen. For Stanley and foodie fans, this is the perfect, irresistible gift. Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and his legendary Negronis, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around he table. In Searching For Italy, he revealed his passion for the secrets and delights of the country's many cuisines. Now, he shares the magic of a lifetime of meals, and the stories behind them. Filled with anecdotes about growing up, shooting foodie films like Julie & Julia, falling in love across the table, and making dinner for his family, Taste is a reflection on the joys of food and life itself. Through five-star meals and burnt dishes, and from the good times to the bad, each morsel of this gastronomic journey is as heartfelt and delicious as the last. 'It's impossible to read this without becoming ravenous!' Nigella Lawson 'Superb ... Establishes Tucci as one of the wisest and most generous personalities of our time' Daily Mail 'The man, the myth, The Devil Wears Prada legend Stanley Tucci has blessed our hungry souls with a food memoir ... Prepare to feel bereaved when it's over' Evening Standard Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, December 2022
