If you’re a book lover who’s also a member of the Tucci gang, we know what you’ll be doing next summer.
Simon and Schuster imprint Gallery Books announced it will publish a food memoir by Academy Award–nominated actor Stanley Tucci in 2021.
The publisher calls Taste: My Life Through Food “an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.”
“Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, N.Y., preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie and Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children,” the publisher says on a webpage for the book.
Tucci is a longtime lover of gastronomy. He’s the author of two cookbooks, The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and turned filmgoers on to the Italian dish timballo with his 1996 film Big Night. He also went viral in April with a thirst-trap (in more ways than one) Instagram video post showcasing him making a Negroni.
“I am very excited to be working with Jen and Alison at Simon and Schuster again and to share my experiences and love of all things culinary,” Tucci said in a news release.
Taste is slated for publication on July 6, 2021.
