Stanley Tucci is best known for his roles in The Lovely Bones and The Devil Wears Prada. But the four-time Emmy Award winner doesn't just love to act — he also loves to eat.

Growing up in an Italian-American family, Tucci was surrounded by refined culinary sensibilities and traditions from his earliest years.
