I picked this up as a fan of Stanley Tucci's films. I've never once watched a movie with him in it without being charmed (no I haven't watched The Lovely Bones).
This book surprised me however by being filled with some of the most evocative and passionate descriptions of food and cooking I've ever encountered.
There is always something addictive and wonderful to hearing someone speak passionately about something they love but when it's luscious descriptions of food it takes it to qnother level. Halfway through listening to the audiobook I purchased a physical copy. I am still yet to have decided if I'll keep it for me or gift it to my mother.

So charming. I had no idea that Stanley recently overcame a bout of mouth cancer. I can't imagine how terrifying that was for the omnivorous actor. Read the audiobook, but not on an empty stomach.
