The Tucci Cookbook

By Stanley Tucci and the Tucci Family

The Tucci family brings updated recipes, expert wine pairings, stunning food photography and treasured family memories to a new generation of Italian food lovers.

There’s truth in the saying: Most of the world eats to live, but Italians live to eat. What is it about an Italian meal that feels like home wherever you are? Perhaps it’s the generous bowls of pasta, the simple yet flavour-packed soups, the perfectly roasted meats, or the comforting sweets served warm at the table.

For acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci, beloved for his roles in foodie classics such as Big Night and Julie & Julia, a passion for cooking was nurtured from childhood. This cookbook celebrates the dishes that shaped his family life – from Venetian seafood salad and polenta lasagne with gorgonzola to spicy tuna spaghetti, pork tenderloin with fennel, baked whole fish in a salt crust, and yes… the legendary Timpano.

With nearly 200 irresistible recipes, thoughtfully paired wines, and never-before-shared family stories, The Tucci Cookbook is a joyful tribute to Italian hospitality and the flavours that bring people together. A delicious addition to any kitchen, and a must-have for fans of food, film, and Stanley himself.
