This charming, wry, and very funny book charts Stanley Tucci's life as a food lover and keen cook. It includes a number of delectable family recipes and hilarious anecdotes from his life as an actor, and concludes with his moving description of his experience and recovery from cancer of the tongue, which threatened his ability to appreciate food. He's a very good writer, self-effacing, sophisticated and insightful. A lovely, lovely book!
