About this listen
‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts'
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 scene 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 memorialised in this diary are a prism for him to reflect 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 steels himself for what is to come.
Whether it’s duck a l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbequed at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days.

Interesting and fun!
Lovely book to listen to due to Stanley’s wonderful voice, touching at times, very funny at others and inspiring me to cook more for my family and get loved ones together around the table. A pleasure to listen to and will go back to it again and again.

Love Love Love
What a wonderful book written and narrated by Stanley it's an inspirational insight in to his love for food, family and obviously Italy. It's a very funny and at times emotional memoir that I'm craving to listen and watch more of. Just downloaded Taste and re-watching Taste of Italy or whatever Stan wants to call it 😂

World's greatest holiday book
I could listen to Stanley Tucci read the phone book. But if that's not your jam thankfully this book is a wonderful blend of musings on food, anecdotes on life, love and family. Perfect!

Pure comfort & joy
It is always a comfort to listen to Stanley (especially whilst cooking). His latest book is an indulgent & easy listen delivering exactly what it says it is…for some this might sound like an incredibly boring read,.‘what he ate last year?!’ But with Stanley Tucci this is, as ever the exception. I love how a book can contain something so incredibly simple whilst at the same time contain so much. Stanley would for sure be a welcome dream dinner party guest (& host) for anyone who is lucky enough know him.

Great listen
I loved listening to what he ate everyday. The man has a gift for talking about life and food, and I ate it up.
