audiobook narration is better at 1.25x speed but loved his narration otherwise, recipes included seem straightforward and not intimidating to try

4 to 4.5 stars.
I don't normally go for memoirs and I was only drawn to this one as I was looking for a 'book that has recipes' in it for a reading challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I listened to the audio book narrated by Tucci (whose voice I really enjoy). This book was fun, irreverent, full of interesting sounding recipes and love for family/friends and how food can often be a conduit for expressing that love. I am someone who loves cooking and sharing that with my family. I now want to become Stanley Tucci's friend; not because he's famous but because I get him! Food is more than just sustenance. Loved it. I now have to get a physical copy so I try some of the recipes!

I found the book tedious, the tone terribly condescending, and, despite my love of food, the description of the gargantuan meals made me want to avoid the kitchen instead of making me hungry.
