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 you’re 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 family’s kitchen.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This cookbook was created by a collaboration—and much love—between actor Stanley Tucci, his family, and his friends (especially Gianni Scappin, executive chef for New York’s Castellano restaurants), combining expertise and artistry to bring a simple culinary collection to life. As sometimes happens in collaborative cookbooks, here the identity of the particular creator of each of nearly 200 recipes is murky. Is it the professional, French-trained chef; Tucci’s mother or father or grandparents; or a very close family friend? Although the voice behind a particular recipe can be puzzling to identify, the end results are not unclear. These are well-crafted traditional dishes that mirror the best of northern and southern Italian cuisines, including fried pasta, frittatas, grissini, polenta, braciole, chicken cacciatore, and biscotti. Prefaced by food star Mario Batali and with a resonant essay advising how to pair foods and wines (e.g., sweet tames spice), this is a warming cookbook, well worth savoring. --Barbara Jacobs

Review

“Stanley’s 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 Lidia’s Italy in America

“Stanley Tucci understands Italian food and Italian cooking. If that wasn’t immediately apparent upon viewing his brilliant film Big Night, it will be when you read this book. . . . Stanley’s 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

“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

"The best adjective for The Tucci Cookbook is generous: from portion sizes to the constant theme of hospitality to Tucci's 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

A wonderful cookbook with authentic and delicious Italian food
I am a big fan of Stanley Tucci and this is the first cookbook of his that I bought. I don’t usually buy books or cookbooks unless I really think they are worth owning, but this one was a treat for myself. I love his show “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy” and I wanted to try some authentic Italian dishes, so I decided to purchase this one and I love it so much. If you are a Tucci fan and/or love cooking Italian food, this is a must-have. I have tried several recipes and they were all amazing. I am now thinking of buying his other cookbooks as well.One of the things I love about this cookbook is the background story for each recipe. It tells me the history and the significance of the dish and how much it is loved by his family. I have tried the eggplant antipasto, the potato and cabbage soup, and other soup and appetizer recipes and they all turned out great. I can’t wait to try more pasta sauce, seafood and meat dishes.The recipes are simple and straightforward, with ingredients that are easy to find. Some of the main courses are more elaborate, but the instructions are clear and concise, so they should be easy to follow for anyone. Some of them also have pictures of the final plating, which is helpful to see how the dish should look like. And the bonus points for the photos of Stanley Tucci cooking. He also includes a wine pairing suggestion for each recipe, which is great for wine lovers like myself. This cookbook is not only a great source of delicious recipes, but also a glimpse into Tucci’s life and love for Italy.

I recently visited a friend who had this cookbook and instead of copying every page, I came home and ordered the book. Even one recipe is worth the cost ! I loved watching the series about Italy and this book really is loaded with colorful photos and easy recipes with accessible ingredients. It arrived in perfect condition and was well packed. Great seller, great product.

I like this cookbook, but wish each recipe came with a photo. Also his homemade pasta recipe doesn’t game with the green / spinach variation, but he refers to the recipe in his green lasagna recipe as if the cookbook contains a recipe for making it, which it does not. Seems like a major oversight by him and the editors.
