Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
"The stories in this book are memories, each one prodded back to life by the sensual evocation of a meal." This statement sets the premise for this book as Tucker, a stage and screen actor best known for his role in L.A. Law, looks back on his life and his love for food and cooking. From his childhood in Baltimore (a recipe for crabcakes is included) to the present, the author rhapsodizes over food. He provides 29 recipes, with pasta and Italian dishes dominating the collection. Most of the recipes are geared toward readers who have some experience with basic cooking techniques rather than the novice chef. Recipes aside, it is Tucker's earthy, humorous, and poignant stories that will draw readers in. Medium and large public libraries may want to consider this title if their patrons' interest in cooking and celebrities warrants.?John Charles, Scottsdale P.L., Ariz.

From Booklist
Years of theater work could not begin to generate the fame Tucker achieved as an actor on television's L.A. Law, the number-one show during much of its tenure on the air. In his genuinely warm, vastly entertaining memoir, Tucker's passion for food adds a mouthwatering element to reminiscences that extend over the course of his marriage to costar Jill Eikenberry, and a successful acting career. Doting father of two children, Tucker has led a charmed life surrounded by industry luminaries; Philip Glass is a cousin, of sorts; Meryl Streep, a dear friend; and Steven Bochco, an old school buddy. By all accounts, the major events in his life were punctuated by incredible meals shared with family and colleagues. Tucker's anecdotes are often very funny, sometimes heartrending, but always liberally seasoned with recipes offering the perfect dish for each occasion. Alice Joyce

This author is as talented at writing books as he is at acting. I do hope that another book is on the way! He is also extremely cute
