Reviews"Everything that made Tognazzi such a dynamic, captivating presence on screen emerges in this utterly enchanting chronicle of the meals and memories that shaped him." - Mayukh Sen, author of Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America "A passionate and compassionate story about the love of community, family, and food. It's full of love and joy!" - Dan Richer, author of The Joy of Pizza (New York Times bestseller), Chef and Owner of Razza, named Best Pizza in North America by 50 Best (2019).

SynopsisAt his home in Velletri, the actor and gastronome Ugo Tognazzi loved to gather friends, family, and colleagues, entertaining them with his extravagant theatrics. In preparing those legendary feasts, he would often stroll through his garden in search of artichokes and other seasonal delights; visit his chicken coop for fresh eggs; or reach into the massive family fridge that dominated his kitchen, which he considered the "family chapel." This book was born out of his passion for food and his experiences as one of the protagonists (along with Michelle Piccoli, Marcello Mastroianni, and Philippe Noiret) of Marco Ferreri's film La grande bouffe. Between childhood memories, clever culinary recipes, and movie set anecdotes, both happy and sad, the great Ugo teaches us how eating well is one of life's most exquisite pleasures.
