Beautifully written. Tucci has an incredible way with words to captivate while capturing the most basic of necessities, the preparation of food and enjoying precious moments with family and friends.
Keen to get back in the audio books in 2025 I jumped straight in to this book after listening to Celebrity Memoir Bookclub's review of 'Taste', very ironic IYKYK.
While I agree he is dripping in privilege, nostagia and arrogance (mainly about what he does or does not consider to be good food), I found 'What I ate in one year' to be an easy book to sink in as it is written in chronological order and structured like diary entries across, you guess it a year (2023). Mostly I enjoyed the various reflective thoughts about food, culture, connection and memory. Especially how food can connect families even when apart. It also made me hungry, even for eggplant.
I listened to my copy via Spotify Premium.

Great in audiobook read by Stanley Tucci. Slice of life with both love for the mundane and the profound, and all the ways food - both the good, bad and not noteworthy - appear in everyday moments across a single year. Doesn’t require a ton of attention but at the same time is totally engaging - fun to listen to while doing chores and the like.
