Publisher's Synopsis
The New York Times bestselling cookbook from acclaimed actor and author of The Tucci Table, Stanley Tucci.
What is it about a good Italian supper that feels like home, no matter where you're from? There is some truth to the old adage: "Most of the world eats to live, but Italians live to eat." For acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci, teasing our taste buds in classic foodie films such as Big Night and Julie & Julia was a logical progression from a childhood filled with innovative homemade Italian meals: decadent Venetian Seafood Salad; rich and gratifying Lasagna Made with Polenta and Gorgonzola Cheese; spicy Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna; delicate Pork Tenderloin with Fennel and Rosemary; flavorful Baked Whole Fish in an Aromatic Salt Crust; and yes, of course, the legendary Timpano. Now, he brings those "truly delicious recipes" (Lidia Bastianich, New York Times bestselling author) to vivid life with this cookbook that is brimming with robust flavors, beloved Italian traditions, mouthwatering photographs, and engaging, and charming previously untold stories from his family's kitchen.
