The Tucci Table by Stanley Tucci: Cooking with Family and Friends

Product Information

For this reason when I stumbled into this book written by Stanley Tucci and his wife Felicity Blunt I just loved. In Big Night, the film he directed as a 36-year-old, Tucci played Secondo, a frustrated Italian restaurateur in New Jersey, who serves seafood risotto to a meatball-loving clientele. He is also a Sunday Times bestselling author with his memoir, TASTE: MY LIFE THROUGH FOOD, published in October 2021 by Fig Tree. Tucci has a wonderful way of expressing himself as he interweaves stories into each recipe’s introduction.

His respect and enthusiasm for his heritage and the Italian diaspora propel our conversation, from early memories of trying to understand his Italian grandfather speaking Calabrese to hunting down oysters and flavorful vegetables for his home kitchen. It made the recipes seem more personal, as though this book wasn't mass produced, but given to you as something special.

He has directed five films and appeared over seventy films, including The Devil Wears Prada, Easy A, The Terminal, and Road to Perdition, as well as more than a dozen plays, on and off Broadway. Flowing between ancient and contemporary, rural and cosmopolitan, and English and Italian, Tucci investigates familiar and lesser-known dishes and customs. Tucci and Blunt's passion for cooking (and each other their love story is described in the introduction and in anecdotes throughout) is evident, but it doesn't shine through in every recipe. Now, in a completely new, family-focused cookbook, Tucci captivates food lovers' imaginations with recipes from his traditional Italian roots as well as those of his British wife, Felicity Blunt, tied together with a modern American ribbon.

Tucci is a foodie who loves a culinary get-together, and offers up warmly annotated, user-friendly recipes that reflect his Italian-American background and that of his (British) second wife Felicity Blunt.Când s-a întâmplat acea masă fatidică, ea a probat o pasiune și o poftă de mâncare și vin care au rivalizat cu ale mele (și poate cu cele ale lui Henric al VIII-lea și Bacchus combinate). Throughout his childhood, cooking was a familial venture evoking a wealth of memories and traditions.

Bourdain was very much to be admired because he loved food and people and to make those connections. Recipes include Pasta Al Forno, Roasted Sea bass, Pan Seared Venison and even British classics such as Shepherd's Pie and Sausage Rolls, there is something to please everyone and bring the whole family together. This is a book for confident cooks, more casual cooks who like to go more by instinct than exact measurements. I was a little skeptical about this book given the track record of celebrity cookbooks, but Tucci managed to put together a collection of classic Italian family recipes.It makes you want to draw up a chair at their kitchen table, be part of their family, dive in and eat the food. A beautifully produced collection of wholesome and hearty Italian recipes that will bring the whole family together. As I started to select genres that I liked and prefered as one does with age, I was still able to find him in even the strangest of movie selections- of the top of my head, He was reassuring as the doctor in a movie I found utterly boring: The First Avenger, Captain America. Some cookbooks are visually inspiring but don't deliver on the recipe front and are cool in tone; others are like a glimpse into someone's life - warm and inviting, with recipes that make you want to join the family party.
