We’re back with Stan! Yes, it’s been awhile. The dish I’m about to demonstrate uses lamb stock and I kept putting off making some sort of lamb dish in order to have lamb bones leftover to make stock from. But we were on a bit of a stew fetish for a couple of weeks there… Read More Tucci #8
The second half, and second dish, of the Calabria episode of Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy. In the previous post, I covered the sweet red onion spaghetti he waxed poetic about. In this one, we get fishy, with Spaghetti con pesce spada, or, spaghetti with swordfish. Not an easy fish to find here in Buenos Aires. As I… Read More Tucci #7b
I haven’t forgotten my Tucci series. Nor any of the series – like The Bread & Soup Project, or the L-Word Project, or getting to every Peruvian restaurant in the city, or, all the pizzerias, or shawarma, or… there are just too many of them, and as you may have noticed, I’m currently very devoted… Read More Tucci #7a
Getting back to watching more of Stanley Tucci’s adventures around Italy. I note, here in the second season, with the episodes I’ve watched so far, that he’s putting less focus on the details of preparation of dishes, and more on his enjoyment of them. So there are fewer details to work with. Still, I can… Read More Tucci #6

It feels a little bit like Tucci lost interest in really talking to the people who he was meeting – we’re getting less about them and more about him. Celebrity… Read More Tucci #5
Last year, along with many other folk in the “foodie” world, I eagerly watched the first season of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. I enjoyed the scenery and the food, especially the food, and I liked that in each of the six episodes, at some point or another, he took the time to learn how to… Read More Tucci #4
On to our last entry for this season’s airing of our man Stan’s tromping about in Italy. In the fifth and sixth episodes he heads to Tuscany and Sicily. All past comments on the show could be repeated here, so I won’t. Let’s go straight to the food. In Tuscany we get our kitchen demo… Read More Two Tuccis #3
This “project” is only going to have three entries this year, since the season of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy only has six episodes and I’m covering two in each post. Episodes 3 & 4, our man Stan travels to Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia, spending much of his time in the major cities of, respectively, Bologna… Read More Two Tuccis #2
