In Stanley Tucci's own words

Stanley Tucci discusses the origins and family traditions behind 'The Tucci Cookbook'.

Uploaded by Simon & Schuster Books, 2013 · Watch on YouTube ·

Meeting Gianni Scappin

While preparing the film Big Night, Isabella Rossellini introduced Tucci to chef Gianni Scappin, who ended up closely resembling the character Tucci had already written for himself.

Prioritizing the family dinner table

Tucci strongly advocates for nightly family dinners and jokingly wishes kids were assigned less homework so families could enjoy meals together rather than arguing over math.
