INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Named a Notable Book of 2021 by NPR and The Washington Post
From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir
of life in and out of the kitchen. Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that
spent every night around the kitchen 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 savory recipes and into the
compelling stories behind them. Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life
filled with anecdotes about his growing up in Westchester New York preparing for and shooting
the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia falling in love over dinner and teaming up with
his wife to create meals for a multitude of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey
through good times and bad five-star meals and burned dishes is as heartfelt and delicious as
the last. Written with Stanley’s signature wry humor Taste is for fans of Bill Buford
Gabrielle Hamilton and Ruth Reichl—and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
