"From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen"-- Tucci grew up in an Italian family that put great import on food: the quality of ingredients, the careful preparation, the passing on of family recipes and cultural culinary traditions. He has written cookbooks, become involved in food-related charities, and has probably spent more time focusing on food than he does on acting. This is Tucci's memoir of his life in and out of the kitchen, of good times and bad, of five-star meals and burned dishes. With a few recipes scattered through the chapters. -- adapted from Introduction, jacket, and perusal of book.
