Taste: The Sunday Times bestselling memoir from the award-winning actor and famous foodie

What an excellent autobiography!I listened to Stanley, himself, read the book toe on Audible and it was truly a treat.Stanley has a rich past - filled with travel, food, and famous faces.He is a natural storyteller and just your average good human.I love that he includes recipes throughout.He spoke at length about his film Big Night, which made me want to watch it for the first time ever. It's old enough now that I was astounded to see Stanley with hair!Really good film though, and it incorporates a lot of Stanley's upbringing in an Italian family.All hail the timpano!

Great read, great recipes & very funny!

Enjoyed this book, despite how hungry it made me! I loved to read about how food has influenced Tucci’s life and I could very much relate. As he now lives in England, too, it made it even more relatable as he bridged the proverbial ‘Pond’ with his explanations (in both directions). Some fantastic, simple recipes, all about bold flavours and balance, which I look forward to trying, although it struck me throughout that his favourite meals were just as much about where he was on his travels and who he was with, as much as how good the food was. I would recommend this book.

Thanks, Stanley T, for sharing this wonderful informative read about your food & life (+ amazing recovery). Even if you are not a foodie reader, hopefully you will be now. I'm reading this many miles from my own kitchen. Currently on a German cruise ship (great food) sailing between Japan & Hong Kong 🇭🇰. It frustrates me that I can't cook any of your recipes for at least five weeks until we have sailed across the Pacific, on another ship [American] & arrived home [UK] on that great liner Queen Mary 2. Reader, perhaps you need to be close to your own kitchen or chef whilst reading this book. In the words of Julia Child 'Bon Appetit'

Stanley Tucci has had an amazing career but has also had his share of personal sadness. As a cancer survivor myself, I found his story humbling, fascinating, humorous, and above all uplifting. Having listened to him narrate his recent TV series on Italian food, one can hear his enthusiastic voice when reading the chapters which comes through clearly and sincerely. I took this book with me on a recent trip to Southern Italy, after completing my final treatment session. It certainly helped me to understand, accept and appreciate the importance that family, friends and good food have in our lives. A great autobiography, with the added benefit of simple but delicious recipes. What more could one ask for? Another volume perhaps…

This is a great read written in a charming way and most enjoyable from cover to cover.

So well written, with a sprinkling of recipes throughout. The story of his life, interwoven with stories from the acting world, and finally his fight for regaining his health. 10/10 !!

Bought to read on holiday in Italy and it was the perfect choice. As a fan of Stanley Tucci, this book was a fabulous look into his life, as someone has already said, it’s as though you can hear his wonderful voice as you are reading it. Lots of laugh out loud moments and I loved every page. I have since tried out some of the recipes featured too! I think my husband is sick of me saying “according to Stanley, in his book…”I highly recommend it!

Tucci has a nice, easy-going style of writing and the book is an interesting, engaging piece of work. A light, breezy read, perfect for those who love to read about food 😊👍

I love Stanley Tucci! Great book about himself….food equals pleasure! I read it at the beach and it’s simply amazing! Witty and real!

Absolutely don’t read if you’re hungry. If you’re not hungry, read it and you will be.

We love Stanley and this book is wonderful. It's currently being handed around my friends. Highly recommend.

It’s a lovely read. Stanley Tucci shares his passion about food with a sweet and friendly voice.
