Taste – Stanley Tucci
Book on CD read by the author
4****

Subtitle: My Life Through Food

This a delightful memoir of Tucci’s life, told through his relationship with food. From growing up in an Italian-American family, to his travels around the world for his work as an actor / director / writer /producer, he relates the important foods and memorable meals of his life.

At times irreverent, even downright profane, Tucci does not hold back in expressing his love of certain dishes, restaurants and traditions. The love/hate relationship with the traditional Christmas timpano is a perfect example. He also shares quite a bit about his life, including the two women he has loved and his own bout with cancer.

He writing is warm, inviting, informative, funny, and charming.

Tucci narrates the audiobook himself. I cannot imagine anyone else doing a better job.

I loved this book. I've seen his movies but didn't realize he had a food show. Such a wonderful peek into his life.

I really want to read this!
