The Tucci Cookbook: Family, Friends and Food by Stanley Tucci (English) Hardcove

Description: The Tucci Cookbook by Stanley Tucci, Francesco Tonelli Actor Tuccis association with wonderful foods began for fans with the movie "Big Night" and resonated in his role as Julia Childs husband in "Julie & Julia." Now he and his parents share a heartwarming Italian cookbook, featuring more than 200 recipes, wine pairings, and 50 luscious, full-color photographs. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Tucci Family brings wine pairings, updated recipes, gorgeous photography, and family memories to a new generation of Italian food lovers. There is some truth to the old adage, "Most of the world eats to live, but Italians live to eat." What is it about a good Italian supper that feels like home, no matter where youre from? Heaping plates of steaming pasta . . . crisp fresh vegetables...simple hearty soups...sumptuous stuffed meats...all punctuated with luscious, warm confections. For acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci, teasing our taste buds in classic foodie films such as Big Night and Julie & Julia was a logical progression from a childhood filled with innovative homemade Italian meals: decadent Venetian Seafood Salad; rich and gratifying Lasagna Made with Polenta and Gorgonzola Cheese; spicy Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna; delicate Pork Tenderloin with Fennel and Rosemary; fruity Roast Duck with Fresh Figs; flavorful Baked Whole Fish in an Aromatic Salt Crust; savory Eggplant and Zucchini Casserole with Potatoes; buttery Plum and Polenta Cake; and yes, of course, the legendary Timpano. Featuring nearly 200 irresistible recipes, perfectly paired with delicious wines, The Tucci Cookbook is brimming with robust flavors, beloved Italian traditions, mouthwatering photographs, and engaging, previously untold stories from the familys kitchen.

Review "The best adjective for The Tucci Cookbook is generous: from portion sizes to the constant theme of hospitality to Tuccis decision to donate a portion of the profits to the Food Bank of New York City. The Tucci Cookbook will appeal both to serious home cooks and to film buffs."--Pamela Toler, blogger for History in the Margins"Chefs and actors share a wonderful bond, the warm friendship of their respective colleagues. Stanley has learned to straddle both professions and this terrific book is a testament. Stanley is totally passionate about his Italian culinary history, and he is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of how home cooks and professional chefs approach recipes. I adore his family anecdotes and recipes, especially when one region has a strong opinion how a tomato sauce is to be prepared. I am jealous, Stanley is the consummate actor/director, and now we can add chef/cookbook author. Well done!" --Jonathan Waxman, author of Italian, My Way"Stanley Tucci understands Italian food and Italian cooking. If that wasnt immediately apparent upon viewing his brilliant film Big Night, it will be when you read this book. . . . Stanleys co-author Gianni Scappin taught me everything important I needed to know about the food of Northern Italy. . . . His recipes and the techniques he taught me are fundamental to my life and have saved me from untold embarrassment every time I cook for my Italian in-laws." --Anthony Bourdain, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential"Stanleys masterful artistry and talent on screen is inevitable, and having cooked with Stanley in my own kitchen, I can say with confidence that Stanley has talent behind the stoves as well. He is at ease and most skilled while cooking, and delivers truly delicious recipes. This cookbook is an intimate glimpse into the Italian heritage that Stanley holds dear--sharing the memories and flavors of his family table. And, it is with much admiration that I recommend this delicious read." --Lidia Bastianich, New York Times bestselling author of Lidias Italy in America Review Quote "The best adjective for Details ISBN1451661258 Author Francesco Tonelli Short Title TUCCI CKBK Publisher Gallery Books Language English ISBN-10 1451661258 ISBN-13 9781451661255 Media Book Format Hardcover Residence US Year 2012 Imprint Gallery Books Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2012-11-01 NZ Release Date 2012-11-01 UK Release Date 2012-11-01 Subtitle Family, Friends and Food Pages 400 Publication Date 2012-11-01 DEWEY 641.5945 Illustrations Frontispiece; Illustrations, color; Illustrations, black and white Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
