What I Ate in One Year by Stanley Tucci (Hardback)

From the beloved, bestselling, Oscar-nominated author of Taste: WhatI Ate in One Year is a funny, poignant, heartfelt and deeply satisfying servingof memories and meals and an irresistible celebration of the profound role thatfood plays in all our lives.

‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts'

Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: fromstracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara saucecooked between scene rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eatenwith his children before bedtime.

Now, in What I Ate In One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating, inrestaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, withfriends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.

Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, tothe infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialised in this diary are a prism forhim to reflect on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving.Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss ofloved ones, and steels himself for what is to come.

Whether it’s duck a l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked bysinging Carmelite nuns, steaks barbequed at a gathering with friends, ormeatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with threegenerations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness tohis days.
