The Tucci Cookbook

The debut cookbook from the award-winning actor, Stanley Tucci, brings a taste of Italy to your home with The Tucci Cookbook. There is some truth to the old adage, "Most of the world eats to live, but Italians live to eat," and this collection perfectly embodies that sentiment. Imagine being transported to an Italian kitchen where heaped plates of steaming pasta, crisp fresh vegetables, simple hearty soups, and sumptuous stuffed meats fill the air with irresistible aromas—all punctuated with luscious, warm confections. For Stanley Tucci, these dishes are more than meals; they are memories and traditions passed down through generations. From a childhood immersed in the rich, innovative homemade Italian cuisine, Tucci brings us recipes that are not only indulgent but also deeply personal. Enjoy decadent Venetian Seafood Salad, rich and gratifying Lasagne Made with Polenta and Gorgonzola Cheese, and spicy Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna. Tempt your taste buds with delicate Pork Fillet with Fennel and Rosemary, fruity Roast Duck with Fresh Figs, and flavourful Baked Whole Fish in an Aromatic Salt Crust. Savour the taste of savoury Aubergine and Courgette Casserole with Potatoes and indulge in buttery Plum and Polenta Cake. And, of course, no Italian feast would be complete without the legendary Timpano. Featuring nearly 200 irresistible recipes, each perfectly paired with delicious wines, The Tucci Cookbook is a treasure trove of robust flavours and beloved Italian traditions. This cookbook is adorned with mouthwatering photographs that vividly bring each dish to life, alongside engaging and previously untold stories from the family's kitchen. The Tucci Cookbook is more than a cookbook; it is a celebration of the Italian way of life, where food is more than sustenance—it's an experience. Buon appetito!
