Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci
3.0
So glad I chose to listen to this as an audiobook read by Stanley Tucci himself. The vivid portrayal of his life through food spoken in his own voice are much better captured. I was unaware that there would be actual recipes in it, so I will need to grab a copy for those specifically as they sound amazing.
He also makes me crave family recipes and cooking with my grandmother in this wonderful passage... "Losing a beloved family heirloom is a very real personal loss; they're things that cannot ever be replaced or re-created. But perhaps the most precious heirlooms are family recipes. Like a physical heirloom, they remind us from whom and where we came and give others, in a bite, the story of another people from another place and another time. Yet unlike a lost physical heirloom, recipes are a part of our history that can be re-created over and over again."
