About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.

Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the 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 recipes and into the stories behind them.

Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

Written with Stanley's signature wry humour and nostalgia, Taste is a heartwarming story that will be irresistible for anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.

Have long admired the actor. Am now loving the writer. Bravo Mr Tucci, this is a wonderfully written culinary autobiography. Sobering towards the end but with the best possible outcome

As good as you'd hoped it would be

I purchased this book after seeing it written up in one of the Sunday papers. Ii was not disappointed. This really is a fabulous book. Im a great fan of Stanley Tucci as an actor but had no idea of his culinary talent at all. The recipes he gives in the book are provided with such warmth and always a great story to accompany them. It is a very touching book written about his family and the trials that a lot of us face, the passing of a loved one is hard for anyone, however he tells his story so well. An incredible man, his book so made me smile so many times. Highly recommended. Particularly as the author reads it, it couldnt be anyone else.

A fabulous book, highly recommended

I picked up this audio book because I liked the series he did where he toured around Italy exploring the foods of different regions. I expected the book to be interesting and of course revolving around food but I was surprised by Tuccis level of knowledge and passion about the subject. I was also surprised by how amazing the recipes sounded that he unveiled through out the book, coming from all kinds of different sources like his mother's recipe for ragu to a recipe for a martini learned from an Italian barman. I hadn't initially considered this a recipe book of sorts but it is and with every recipe comes an associated story from Tuccis life.

What an intriguing way to tell ones life, through your experiences with food.

Started from the beginning as soon as I finished and I tell everyone to read or listen albeit with either a full stomach or a full fridge because you will be salivating!

Bravo!
