[Book listing] Taste: My Life Through FoodAuthor:Stanley Tucci Publisher: Penguin Books

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 a perfect, irresistible gift.

Before Stanley Tucci became a household name through films "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006) , "The Hunger Games" (2012) and his legendary Negronis, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. In the series "Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy" (2021-22), 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" (2009), 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.
