Stanley Tucci's New Book - 'Taste: My Life Through Food'

Fans of Stanley Tucci's ongoing CNN series Searching for Italy will be pleased to know there's yet more to come from the charismatic US writer and actor with the release of his new book, Taste, My Life Through Food, published by Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, in October.

Billed as an 'intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen', the volume will deploy the passionate food enthusiast's charismatic dry humour, albeit this time turning the focus on himself and exploring what food has meant to him throughout his life.

From his memories of growing up in Westchester, NY, and eating dinners with his Italian-American family, and later cooking at home with his wife, Felicity Blunt, to preparing on-set dishes like the unforgettable 'timpano' for his food film Big Night, and Julie & Julia, it's been a life intertwined with food, both off and on screen. 

Given Tucci is never far from cooking, eating or exploring food, his memoir is sure to be a fascinating insight into a life enjoyed through taste.

Tucci even became an online sensation during lockdown when he cheered people up with his relaxing Negroni cocktail video:

This isn't Tucci's first ode to food. He previously released The Tucci Cookbook in 2012, which included some of his family's most cherished recipes, and the cookbook for families, The Tucci Table: Cooking With Family and Friends, in 2020.
