Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. Written with wry humour and nostalgia, this memoir is a reflection on the intersection of food and life. It’s filled with anecdotes about Tucci’s life growing up in Westchester, New York; what it was like preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia; his experience of falling in love over dinner; and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children.
