Stanley Tucci's new cookbook is all about family. The tome, appropriately titled The Tucci Cookbook, features recipes created and curated by his parents, Stan and Joan, passed down through generations and served at family meals.
"I wanted to have all of these recipes down on paper," Tucci told PEOPLE recently at a Gilt City event in New York. "They were so influential in my life and one of the reasons I am who I am."
More than 10 years ago, Tucci actually released a cookbook filled with his parents' delectables (entitled Cucina & Famiglia), but due to publishing issues, that edition slowly faded away. But with the help of his new wife, literary agent Felicity Blunt, and chef friend Gianni Scappin, Tucci was able to reissue the book this season, adding new photography, new recipes and a foreward by chef Mario Batali.
