This month we will discuss the memoir, Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci, listening time 7 hours. TBBS Book #DB105460.

Actor, Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the kitchen table. Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food & life, filled with anecdotes about his growing up in Westchester, New York; preparing for & shooting the foodie films Big Night & Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner; & teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times & bad, five-star meals & burned dishes, is as heartfelt & delicious as the last. This memoir also details his diagnosis with oral cancer, the devastating loss of his sense of taste & ability to eat, & the emotional & physical journey back to rediscovering food’s pleasure. Written with Stanley’s signature wry humor, Taste is for anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
