INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Named a Notable Book of the Year by NPR and The Washington Post
From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.
Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the kitchen table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the savory recipes and into the compelling stories behind them.
Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about his growing up in Westchester, New York; preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner; and teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burned dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.
Written with Stanley’s signature wry humor, Taste is for fans of Bill Buford, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichl—and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.

Great
I snatched this book up at the library so quickly when I saw it. Stanley’s TikToks during COVID were a partial inspiration to me as I began cooking and baking and I love his attitude on food and culture. I had a lot of expectations about the book and, for the most part, they were true. It’s a really great read and he’s a funny guy. The time hopping makes it a little different than a traditional memoir, but I think it’s worth it for anyone into food or Tucci.
How do I wrangle a dinner invitation?
Stanley Tucci is such an engaging artist in so many mediums. “Taste” is about so much more than recipes and techniques, though there are samples aplenty. He conveys his truths with cutting wit and genuine humility. I only wish I lived close enough to ingratiate myself sufficiently to obtain an invitation to dinner.
Good but not great
Entertaining and I learned a couple things.
