Pros & Cons
Pros
Taste takes you on a culinary journey of italian food. Brilliant book about stanley’s italian heritage. He mentions many famous actors who have been fortunate to work with him and share his culinary skills. My favourite actor/chef is stanley stanley.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it is simply a delight. I heard about this book on the radio where he was being interviewed. There are so many stories in the book that i kept thinking, yes, something similar happened to me.
The stories are so well told and you find yourself salivating at the beautifully put together recipes. V funny and with some fab food and cocktail recipes.
Cons
The spine of the book is also a mess. But it’s a 300 page memoir with only about 20 recipes.
Highlights
Quality
Appreciated by my relative who was most impressed with the book
I really liked his no nonsense style and the insights into his life interwoven with the food stories and recipes
Competitiveness
Touching account of his first wifes death and of his own serious brush with cancer

There are details of tragedy but these are sensitively handled and although they needed acknowledgement as something that had profound impact they do not shift the context and reflections in the book
