Stanley Tucci is an award-winning actor who has appeared in over 70 films, countless TV shows and a dozen plays on and off Broadway.

Best known for starring opposite Meryl Streep in the film β€˜The Devil Wears Prada’ he worked with her again in Nora Ephron's film β€˜Julie and Julia’. He’s also directed five films and appeared in projects as varied as β€˜Captain America: The First Avenger’ and β€˜ER’.

A New Yorker of Italian descent, he’s pursued his passion for food in his own TV series β€˜Searching for Italy’, where he explored the dishes of his family's motherland by touring the country. Cook books have followed, and his latest book, β€˜What I Ate in One Year’, is a record of what he ate over 12 months. From restaurants to film sets, at home and abroad, with friends, with strangers, and by himself.
