What I Ate in One Year

好萊塢知名影星
Stanley Tucci飲食文集

《這一年，我的飲食記錄》(暫譯)
食物、生命、時光交織



「分享食物是最純粹的人類行為之一。」


食物一直是史丹利·圖奇(Stanley Tucci)生活中不可或缺的一部分：
從萬神殿陰影下享用的義大利蛋花湯，到排練與試裝空檔煮好的番茄醬，再到與孩子們在睡前分享的自製披薩。


在《這一年，我的飲食記錄》一書中，圖奇細膩地記錄了一整年中的飲食旅程—
無論是在餐廳、家廚、片場、活動，或是與朋友、家人、陌生人共餐，有時也只是獨自一人。


從令人垂涎的珍饈佳餚，到家常溫馨的料理，再到令人沮喪而難以下嚥之物，
這些餐點如同一面鏡子，映照出他的生活及家庭如何不斷變遷。
在食物中，他標記著時間的流逝，悼念所愛之人的離去，並為未來做好準備。


無論是與卡梅利會修女合唱團一起享用的橙味烤鴨，在友人聚會上烤製的牛排，還是由母親與兒子共同製作的義大利肉丸，並與三代同堂的家人共享，這些餐點豐富了他的日常生活，為平凡的時光賦予形狀與意義。

‘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 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 memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects 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 prepares himself for what is to come.

Whether it’s duck à l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued 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 richness to his days.

'A hugely entertaining glimpse into a well-lived life full of fun, food, family, travel, work, passions and love. I adored every page' Dolly Alderton

'This is a man who knows both how to eat and how to live' Guardian

‘Everyone wants to spend a day and share a meal with Stanley Tucci and this is the perfect way to do it … A true joy’ Ina Garten

‘An absolute delight. Tucci's wit is dry as a martini; his observations as sharp as lemon tart, but really what I most adore about his writing is his ability to reach across the table and guide the reader not just through mealtimes, but through life itself’ Elizabeth Day
