What I Ate in One Year

Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci's life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating in restaurants kitchens film sets press junkets at home and abroad with friends with family with strangers and occasionally just by himself.

Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable to the comfortingly domestic to the infuriatingly inedible the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life and his family are constantly evolving. Through food he marks - and mourns - the passing of time the loss of loved ones and prepares himself for what is to come.
