Description
“Sharing food is one of the purest human acts.” Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life, from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon to marinara sauce prepared between scene rehearsals and costume fittings, and homemade pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. In What I Ate in One Year, Tucci records twelve months of eating in restaurants, kitchens, on film sets, at press events, at home and abroad, with friends, family and strangers, and occasionally alone. Ranging from memorable and mouth-watering to comfortingly domestic and frustratingly inedible, the meals in this diary become a prism through which he reflects on the continual evolution of his life and family. Through food, he marks and mourns the passing of time, grieves loved ones and prepares himself for what lies ahead. Meals including duck à l’orange cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued with friends, and meatballs made by his mother and son give shape and emotional richness to his days.
