Reviews with the most likes.
My non-fiction November read. This book is a gem. I already loved his acting and his docuseries Searching for Italy. This book absolutely solidified my admiration and affection for Stanley Tucci. What an interesting guy- such a colorful family - both the one that he came from and the one he's created. He takes us through growing up in New York and his mother's incredible cooking prowess. He talks about his classic film Big Night that is an absolute culinary feast. He takes us to movie sets and through Covid. Then right at the end he takes us through his almost unbearable health scare. What a story! All of it. Just so good. Plus recipes sprinkled throughout! Chef's Kiss Stanley. Truly.
Glorious!
A journey through the highs and lows of the author's life from the viewpoint of food, and how it has influenced and moulded him.
I had to keep putting the book down so I could go and cook something!
Stanley Tucci is a gift. I listened to this book, read by the author, and it was a delight. I will likely buy the book just to have the recipes, because they all sound delicious.
This left me even more endeared to a public figure that I didn't believe I could be more endeared to.
