‘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 cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime.
Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.
Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come.
Whether it’s duck à l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and richness to his days.
'A hugely entertaining glimpse into a well-lived life full of fun, food, family, travel, work, passions and love. I adored every page' Dolly Alderton
'This is a man who knows both how to eat and how to live' Guardian
‘Everyone wants to spend a day and share a meal with Stanley Tucci and this is the perfect way to do it … A true joy’ Ina Garten
‘An absolute delight. Tucci's wit is dry as a martini; his observations as sharp as lemon tart, but really what I most adore about his writing is his ability to reach across the table and guide the reader not just through mealtimes, but through life itself’ Elizabeth Day

Interesting and fun!
Lovely book to listen to due to Stanley’s wonderful voice, touching at times, very funny at others and inspiring me to cook more for my family and get loved ones together around the table. A pleasure to listen to and will go back to it again and again.

Love Love Love
What a wonderful book written and narrated by Stanley it's an inspirational insight in to his love for food, family and obviously Italy. It's a very funny and at times emotional memoir that I'm craving to listen and watch more of. Just downloaded Taste and re-watching Taste of Italy or whatever Stan wants to call it 😂

World's greatest holiday book
I could listen to Stanley Tucci read the phone book. But if that's not your jam thankfully this book is a wonderful blend of musings on food, anecdotes on life, love and family. Perfect!
