Growing up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the kitchen table, Stanley Tucci has always taken good food and companionship seriously. Named a Notable Book of 2021 by NPR and the Washington Post, Tucci's witty, heartfelt memoir is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about his growing up in Westchester, New York; preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner; and teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude of children.
