This is a highly recommended good read by Italian-American actor, travel presenter, author and all round foodie Stanley Tucci.

His love of food and the delicious dishes served in his New York Italian home whilst growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, bounce off the page and you can almost taste them!

Tragically he suffers from oral cancer later in life and loses all taste whilst he undergoes chemo to rid the cancer.

Thankfully he recovers and the roller coaster experience is wonderfully described.

Its happy and sad at various times, as he describes his culinary experiences good and bad.

It is a great read and highly recommended - as food and taste is the center of life- and so vital  -in so many ways!
