Taste: The Taste of Life (FR) - Stanley Tucci - Discontinued

“Food has never just been an important part of my life; it has essentially been my life. Food has given me roots while simultaneously opening up new horizons. It has comforted and stimulated me. It has allowed me to express my love for those dear to me and to connect with new people who have become dear to me.” Through the lens of his passionate relationship with food, particularly that of his Italian roots, Stanley Tucci shares his memoirs, an intimate narrative full of humor and wit. Rich with recipes he loves to share with his family and readers, this book, filled with family and professional anecdotes about the growing role of food in his life over the years, retraces the thread of encounters, public successes, and personal trials he has experienced, in a touching and joyful celebration of life, the pleasure of good food, and the connections we forge through shared meals. Published simultaneously in the UK and the US in 2021, Taste was met with unanimous critical acclaim, quickly becoming a New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller, as well as being selected as a "Book of the Year" by The Guardian, The Times, the Daily Mail, and The Observer. Numerous leading figures in the international culinary scene, such as Nigella Lawson, Sophie Dahl, and Yotam Ottolenghi, praised the book's typically Anglo-Saxon self-deprecating tone, as well as the author's sincerity and infectious passion for authentic Italian cuisine.
