Stanley Tucci is an award winning actor and filmmaker. Nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA for The Lovely Bones (2009). The list of outstanding performances is endless, The Hunger Games, Burlesque, The Terminal, and of course The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia, alongside the inimitable Meryl Streep.
Not content with being brilliant on the big screen, Stanley has also won an Emmy for his TV show Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.
Nick nervously serves Stanley a negroni and Angela prepares one of his favourite meals, spaghetti alle vongole, with clams, white wine, garlic, parsley and crispy pangrattato (toasted breadcrumbs). Stanley is a man of taste, he talks Italian cooking with Angela, the importance of a leather shoe with Nick and casually drops names like Ryan Reynolds, Cher and Judi Dench into conversation. Stanley Tucci is the epitome of a dream dinner party guest.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.

I always assumed it's because of the heat. Like you need something quick, easy and with as little cooking as possible
Angela is so pretty.
Exactly. In 4 mins my lasagna is microwaved. Benne 🤌🏼
And yet Italian food is arguably some of the most delicious in the world.
'yeah' counter: 15
Mmmm… it’s not like that everywhere in Italy. Ragù, spezzatino, arrosto, brasato, pollo al forno, pollo in umido, bollito misto, costicine al forno, etc. are all very slow cooking recipes (maybe these dishes are more popular in the Northern Italy, but still)
This is exactly right! 🇮🇹🤌
Yeah
Espertissimo
Japanese are like that too. Fast and raw. Compared to French cuisine which are more slow and stew
The opposite of where I'm from (south Louisiana). Everything takes hours.
Stanley Tucci is about as Italian as Papa John, why are they listening to him blather on about Italian food.
Totally 💯
