Thank you Gallery Books and Simon Audio for this gifted copy.

Happy PubDay Stanley Tucci 🥳

I don’t believe in rating memoirs since this is someone telling their story while being vulnerable (everyone deserves 5 stars for that), and therefore I have no right to critique or have an opinion. Instead, I prefer to share how I felt while reading.

“𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀.”

Truly a fantastic memoir!

Y’all know I’m a foodie and this is an ode to food and food lovers everywhere.

I am a huge fan of Stanley Tucci (super excited for his new movie Conclave coming out later this month), and found myself absorbed in his television series Searching for Italy.

Tucci loves eating, drinking, and cooking in the same easy and joyful way that l do, and this is what made a glimpse into his life relatable and interesting. Not to mention you get to see him as an every day person just living life, cooking for his family and friends, venturing out to both fabulous and horrendous restaurants, and sharing antidotes and thoughts pertaining to life in general.

One of Tucci’s thoughts/questions that he posed earlier in the book asked, “What do you touch most in a day?” Now I’m not bringing this up to be kinky or gross; but instead, I’m looking at this the way Tucci did. The fact that I’m interacting more with my phone than anything else in my day-to-day life really got me thinking.

🎧If you can, grab the audiobook, since Tucci narrates it himself. I loved it!

For those of you looking for a book to add to your Nonfiction November stack, grab this one and then start it in October!😂

Now I’m off to go re-create some of his recipes shared in the book!

P.S. Make sure you have at least 8 pounds of pasta on hand when you start listening to or reading this book, because you’re gonna wanna cook some up.
