Publisher's Synopsis
What is it regarding an exceptional Italian supper that feels like home, in spite of where you're from? Filling layers of steaming pasta, crisp fresh veggies, simple hearty soups, tasty loaded meats all punctuated with rich, relaxing confections.
For widely known celebrity Stanley Tucci, teasing our preference in conventional food fan flicks such as Huge Night and Julie & Julia was a reasonable progression from a youth years filled with advanced self-made Italian meals: decadent Venetian Fish as well as shellfish Salad; plentiful and pleasing Lasagna Made with Polenta and Gorgonzola Cheese; warm Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna; delicate Pork Tenderloin with Fennel and Rosemary; fruity Roast Duck with Fresh Figs; full-flavored Baked Whole Fish in an Aromatic Salt Crust; delicious Eggplant and Zucchini Casserole with Potatoes; buttery Plum and Polenta Cake; and obviously, certainly, the impressive Timpano.
