Tucci's passion for cooking is wonderfully contagious, and his stories about growing up in a middle-class Italian household will resonate with anyone who cherishes the memories made around the table.

Tucci’s wit and humor comes through in anecdotes of working on movie and TV shows, cooking with his wife and making meals for their children. If you’re a fan, then you'll enjoy his signature snarkiness…a trademark of his charm.
Also a good storyteller, he seamlessly mixes humor into his observations and discusses real life hardships in a touching and honest way.

Celebration Of Italian Cuisine
The recipes in "Taste" include almost all aspects of Italian cooking, from simple pasta dishes to more elaborate holiday meals. Tucci's instructions are clear and precise making it easy for home cooks of all levels to recreate these delicious dishes in their own kitchens.
For fans of the movie "Big Night” (of which Tucci co-wrote and co-directed) the Timpano recipe is in the book. Yes, the infamous dish is shared in it’s entirety. No, I haven’t attempted to cook it yet. I do love that it’s included, tempting us to take on this recipe almost as a right of passage.
Final Thoughts

Tucci’s passion for food and adoration for his wife, kids, and family come alive on every page, making this book, and its recipes a love letter to family traditions.
Every time I pick up the book to make a recipe, I always end up reading a few pages (again) because it's that good. Buy one for you, and one to gift to a friend because you will not want to lend yours out. Ever.
