A review by bookstorian
What I ate in one Year by Stanley Tucci
3.5
Keen to get back in the audio books in 2025 I jumped straight in to this book after listening to Celebrity Memoir Bookclub's review of 'Taste', very ironic IYKYK.
While I agree he is dripping in privilege, nostagia and arrogance (mainly about what he does or does not consider to be good food), I found 'What I ate in one year' to be an easy book to sink in as it is written in chronological order and structured like diary entries across, you guess it a year (2023). Mostly I enjoyed the various reflective thoughts about food, culture, connection and memory. Especially how food can connect families even when apart. It also made me hungry, even for eggplant.
I listened to my copy via Spotify Premium.
