Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci

relaxing medium-paced

4.0

Really warm and lovely memoir centered around Tucci’s love not just of food, but of sharing meals with others. He starts with the meals his Italian mother made for the family through modern day, but if you are looking for Hollywood secrets this isn’t the book for that. Much more focused on his personal journey and literally on the food in places he was filming. I listened to the audiobook which he reads and is so soothing, truly warm blanket of an experience. He also includes a ton of recipes (not as great on audio lol- made me HUNGRY and also a little hard to follow, especially for a non-foodie like me). The last chapter about his mouth cancer diagnosis and difficult treatment, including not being able to eat, really tied the whole book together.
