The Tucci Table by Stanley Tucci: Cooking with Family and Friends

Product Information

The Tucci Table is a glimpse inside the private and intimate life of Stanley Tucci and the people he loves. He shares insights into family and caring that happen to be part of the food he makes and enjoys. Some of the recipes are his and some are friends and family. But what should be felt through it all is the setting of the family dinner, where food is prepared carefully and with the love that one brings to their family. These are not meals meant to impress others, these are the foods meant to bring people home.

During Felicity’s first summer in New York, we planted a vegetable garden together. We made almost daily runs to the nursery to buy topsoil, compost, and manure to enrich the soil. Too much manure, it turned out, because everything tasted like sh*t. The only vegetables that flourished were the tomatoes. Having achieved the proper balance, our garden in London has successfully yielded zucchini, spring onions, runner beans, and, of course, tomatoes. We are still working on the lettuce.”The book is heavy on Italian food, naturally, and I am tempted to try his Polenta Fries, which Tucci calls a great alternative to French fries. They look delicious. Featuring 100 luscious new full-color photographs, The Tucci Table captures the true joys of family cooking. Buon appetito!

Ingredients: celery; carrots; onions; pancetta; ground beef; red wine; thyme; canned tomatoes; milk; long pasta of your choice; Parmigiano Reggiano cheese soția mea, Kate, a fost o bucătăreasă minunată și generoasă. Copiii noștri - Isabel, Nicolo și Camilla - și cu mine am făcut tot ce ne stă în putință pentru a recrea multe dintre felurile sale de mâncare pentru că, din păcate, cu excepția câtorva, nu au fost niciodată notate. Când le gătim acum o păstrăm mereu prezentă în viețile noastre și, deși erau delicioase, ceea ce le-a făcut cu adevărat speciale a fost faptul că erau parte din ea și că ea le-a preparat pentru noi. If you have already submitted another request to index a book or magazine yourself, please do not make any additional requests until you have indexed and submitted that book or magazine. The recipes are carefully written so that they can be followed easily. But more than the food, there is a strong and powerful sense of family throughout.I have tried only one and was thoroughly disappointed. The "Blondie" recipe is more like a brown butter cake than a blonde brownie. Based on that I have chosen not to try any of the other recipes.
