What I Ate in One Year (and Related Thoughts) by Stanley Tucci

3.0

I think I’d have appreciated this more had I watched his HBO series first. Mr.Tucci seems like a great guy.  I did get inspired in many ways from his daily food choices and I enjoyed most of his personal reflections on life, loss, and the passage of time.  However, there were many times in his food-specific writing that he comes off as a bit elitist/oblivious in his preference for very expensive items.  We get it. He’s blessed with money and access. I’m sure he gets a lot of stuff for free as well just because of who he is. Not my favorite in the food-writing genre but a quick read that didn’t overstay its welcome. Kudos to Mr. Tucci for diversifying his revenue streams.
