A mouth-watering, delectable collection of meals, thoughts and observations all delivered with Tucci's indefatigably dry wit and inexhaustible enthusiasm for great food (and often hilarious displeasure for bad food).

Synopsis

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - DISCOVER THE MOUTHWATERING FOLLOW-UP TO HIS BESTSELLING MEMOIR, TASTE

‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts'

Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime.

Now, in What I Ate in One Year, Tucci records twelve months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.

Whether it’s duck à l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and richness to his days.

It’s hard to write a review of this as essentially Tucci did what he set out to do - keep a diary of what he ate across a year. The issue I have is this... READ MORE
