Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor, food lover and star of more than 50 films Stanley Tucci talks about his new book on cooking with family and friends and offers some food tastings. The Tucci Table is a family-friendly recipe book co-written with Tucci’s British wife, Felicity Blunt. The time-tested recipes reflect the Italian-American roots of Tucci and the British roots of Blunt. They include pasta alla bottarga, mushroom-stuffed trout, pork chops with onions and mustard sauce, and barbeque chicken wings.

Tucci has appeared in more than 50 films, winning many awards and nominations, and is currently starring in a major new Sky Atlantic television series, Fortitude. The films include The Lovely Bones, Julie & Julia, The Devil Wears Prada, The Terminal, Road to Perdition, The Hunger Games, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Appearing in classic foodie films such as Big Night and Julie & Julia was a logical progression from a childhood filled with big Italian meals.

This event is part of Italian Day at the festival.
