Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and his legendary Negronis, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around he table. In Searching For Italy, he revealed his passion for the secrets and delights of the country's many cuisines. Now, he shares the magic of a lifetime of meals, and the stories behind them.
Filled with anecdotes about growing up, shooting foodie films like Julie & Julia, falling in love across the table, and making dinner for his family, Taste is a reflection on the joys of food and life itself. Through five-star meals and burnt dishes, and from the good times to the bad, each morsel of this gastronomic journey is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

Good entertaining read and I could hear Stanley Tucci's voice in mind as he was narrating. It has of course made me very hungry for Italian food and so glad our holiday to Italy is only 6 weeks away.
I loved the anecdotes from his long career in the film industry which were of course centred around food wherever he was filming and other foodie actor friends he met. I didn't know much about his personal life and he certainly had a few tragedies himself, like the death of his first wife at just 49 and more recently his own battle with cancer but overall it's a very uplifting read and I might even try one or two recipes myself
