The Tucci Table

Schauspieler Stanley Tucci isst, kocht und genießt sich durchs Jahr Stanley Tucci steht leidenschaftlich gern vor der Kamera - noch lieber steht er jedoch am Herd oder sitzt an einem gedeckten Tisch. In diesem Buch gibt er Einblicke in seine kulinarischen Abenteuer über ein ganzes Jahr hinweg. Er bewirtet Freunde beim Abendessen und kocht für seine beiden strengsten Kritiker, seine kleinen Kinder. Er fachsimpelt über die perfekten Fleischbällchen mit seinem schon erwachsenen Sohn Nicolo und ärgert sich, dass es an Filmsets nie vernünftiges Essen gibt, nicht einmal in Italien. Neben vielen Lieblingsrezepten teilt Stanley Tucci aber vor allem das, was ihn bewegt: Er sinniert über unser Miteinander und beobachtet nicht nur seine Kinder beim Älterwerden, sondern auch sich selbst. Ein mal heiteres, mal nachdenkliches, immer dem Leben zugewandtes Buch für alle, die gern essen.'Indem ich über die Gerichte schreibe, die ich im Laufe eines Jahres gegessen, gekocht und mit Freunden und meiner Familie geteilt habe, will ich ein Loblied singen auf das Essen und die zentrale Rolle, die es in meinem Leben spielt.' Stanley Tucci

'Schon jetzt ein Klassiker.' Stephen Fry Der preisgekrönte Hollywood-Schauspieler Stanley Tucci lässt uns in sein Leben und in seine Kochtöpfe schauen. Ein stark appetitanregender Lesegenuss der Extraklasse! Stanley Tuccis Auftritte in Filmen wie ¿Der Teufel trägt Pradä, ¿ Julie & Juliä oder ¿Terminal¿ sind unvergesslich; seine große Leidenschaft jedoch gilt seit jeher dem Essen. In seiner kulinarischen Autobiografie ¿TASTE¿ erzählt er vom Aufwachsen in einer New Yorker Familie italienischer Abstammung, in der sich alles Wichtige in der Küche abspielte. Er lässt sich beim Kochen mit Meryl Streep, seiner Frau Felicity oder auch allein über die Schulter schauen, und er nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch Italien, wo er für seine Doku-Serie ¿Searching for Italy¿ die köstlichsten Spezialitäten des Landes erkundete. Dazu verrät Stanley Tucci mit Anekdoten gespickte Rezepte aus allen Phasen seines Lebens - eines Lebens, das von beeindruckenden Erfolgen ebenso wie schweren Schicksalsschlägen geprägt war. So ist ¿TASTE¿ nicht nur eine Ode an die beglückende und Verbindung stiftende Kraft des gemeinsamen Kochens und Essens, sondern auch die umwerfend witzige und warmherzige Begegnung mit einer großen Persönlichkeit unserer Zeit.
