The Tucci Cookbook by Stanley Tucci

vlreid's review

5.0

This is the cookbook that every family wishes that they compiled...all of the recipes from every relative! Stanley Tucci has recipes from his parents, who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy. In addition, he worked with Chef Gianni Scappin in preparation for the film he wrote/director/starred in, "The Big Night" and it contains many of his recipes. This book has more classic Italian family recipes than his later cookbook, "The Tucci Table." It includes memoirs from each of his parents, Stanley Tucci and Joan Tropiano Tucci. Overall, an excellent cookbook and tribute to an Italian family!

Some amazing recipes! I cooked one dish already, and it was an instant favorite that I’ll put in rotation for pasta night. I would have loved more photos, but overall there are some great Italian-American recipes in this collection.

Italienii americani, la fel ca multe populații de imigranți din America, și-au adus ideologia alimentară în Lumea Nouă și, în cele mai bune cazuri, s-a format un hibrid. Adevăratul secret este că noi italienii nu am mâncat niciodată, sau foarte rar, la un restaurant. Ne-a trecut rar prin minte că restaurantul local sau restaurantul informal ar putea servi ceva ce am vrut să mâncăm. Nu ne-a trecut prin cap că am putea ieși și să cheltuim bani pentru cină.

Nice Italian recipes. I doubt I would make most of it, and if I did, I couldn't help but think of Ceasar Flickerman's crazy blue hair making sauce.
