The Tucci Cookbook By Stanley Tucci

The Tucci family invites you to the table—bringing updated recipes, thoughtful wine pairings, gorgeous photography, and cherished family memories to a new generation of Italian food lovers.

There’s truth to the old saying: Most of the world eats to live, but Italians live to eat. What is it about an Italian supper that instantly feels like home? Perhaps it’s the heaping bowls of pasta, the crisp garden vegetables, the hearty soups, the tender, flavor-packed meats, and the sweet, warm desserts that close the meal with a smile.

For Stanley Tucci—acclaimed actor and beloved on-screen foodie in films like Big Night and Julie & Julia—this passion began in childhood, around a family table filled with inventive, homemade Italian dishes. In these pages, you’ll find favorites like decadent Venetian Seafood Salad, rich Lasagna with Polenta and Gorgonzola, zesty Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna, delicate Pork Tenderloin with Fennel and Rosemary, fragrant Roast Duck with Fresh Figs, and whole fish baked in an aromatic salt crust.

Brimming with flavor, stories, and the joy of cooking for those you love, this cookbook is an irresistible celebration of Italian food—and of the moments that turn a meal into a memory.
