B&N Book Brandoned: Taste Along with This Story
Stanley Tucci....food...that alone is enough for an enjoyable read. Taste: My Life Through Food, however, is so much more than just a book of food writings. A lighthearted memoir about living is the soul of this book, with food being the heartbeat...literally, as we need food to survive. Stories of family, friends, fears and feasts, but inspirational and uplifting. No matter what kinds of books you like; non-fiction or fiction, cookbooks, mysteries....Tucci's book will be one you will be glad you journeyed with. His sequel of sorts, What I Ate In One Year is another exploration of the trials and tribulations of life rich or poor, filled with stories of love and wonder. Food being the string that keeps the heart of the book beating. Pick up a copy or listen to the audiobook, a scrapbook of joyous eats and treats.

Please, Stan, I Want Some More!
By Bill Marsano. If all that Stanley Tucci did was act—as he so smoothly, convincingly and (apparently) effortlessly has in dozen of movies and television shows, his would be a crowded resume. But he also writes, directs and produces, wins or is nominated for an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and two Golden Globes. Unwilling or, more likely, unable to stop there , he has thrown himself into the subject of food, most especially family-style food, and he spins his memories so winningly that almost anyone might wish to have been born into an Ital-American, almost-middle-class family in a not-especially- prosperous New York suburb. Family home cooking made the young Stanley aware of the importance of food and it made him the envy of his school pals as well. There are, of course, recipes here—but just a few that are of especially personal interest to him. (For full servings, see his two cookbooks, “The Tucci Table” and “The Tucci Cookbook.” They’re excellent.) Here, Tucci pushes his plate away, so to speak, and summons memories of family, film, and friends, preferences and prejudices, and some memorable meals. in Iceland he loved the lamb—and the whale. In Germany he found a rival for the famous British breakfast. In Paris, on-set catering for cast and crew that made him think he was dreaming. and more. If you take food seriously—if you respect it rather than worship or dismiss it—if you have let ever the Pandemic and its never=-ending “emergency” grind you down to a fine powder of Uber Eats desperation, this book will hearten and cheer you. It’s a fine example of the lost art of what used to be called “table talk.”—Bill Marsano, a home cook for 40 years, has maintained a low body-count the whole time.

A great memoir with wonderful recipes
This is an amazing memoir and really and ode to the food that Stanley Tucci loves and also prepares for his family and friends. I didn't know much about Stanley Tucci before this book, aside from watching him on Searching for Italy where he did sometimes talk about his family, but this book is much more personal. The stories of his life were fun to read, but it was the recipes that I will keep going back to in this book and I think that is what he would want.

Great storytelling
Bought as a gift for Italian in laws. They rave about it! The stories bring them back to their own childhoods...wonderfully nostalgic and sentimental.

A good bit of fun.
I watched the Tucci travel series on CNN; looking forward to the next season. This book was entertaining and worth the time on a winter evening.
