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.

Don't worry, Stanley got his Waitrose goodie bag!
I did enjoy that 👏👏👏
Excellent! I love Stanley Tucci and am about to make his zucchini pasta dish..The beauty of Italian food ( e.g. Piemonte, Lombardia) is that it is healthy and can be made relatively quickly. Bravo for your great show! 🙄😍😍
He's definitely talking about blue hill at stone barns at the end
75% of Italian food is made to order because 100% Italians are impatient
I love this podcast
Waitrose have hopeless wine, I ordered a case of my favourite Italian wine a couple of weeks ago, and the wine merchant told me I would get a call to pay the duty! Because we were not EU!
My mother's mother was a Spain's civil war survivor, and she had a relationship with leftovers very similar, the only food I saw her throwing in the bin was bread when there was a big stale chunk of a loaf (many people don't nowadays, but when I was young most people bought the bread daily) and she kissed the bread before dumping it. She loved simple food, a favorite of hers were Oranges, she was a kid during the siege of Madrid, she and her sister were stranded there with no adults and they had a really hard time to get food, once a relief convoy from Valencia arrived and they managed to score some oranges. She always told us that was the best food she ever had.
I am italian and I adore UK traditional dishes 😊
Nigel came out to play at 17:23 and I love to see it

How is this man so charismatic?!
I am a neapolitan but I never heard in my life of pangrattato (bread crumbs)I f I understood it well,on spaghetti a vongole.Must be an american thing and,by the way,italian food is much more than pasta.
Imagine being Stanley Tucci's kids, they don't know how good they have it. lol
Oh, this is just lovely who doesn’t like to watch two homosexuals and the chef.
❤

Omg second time watching I saw the disembodied hand with the wine bottle. Reminds me that many lovely people are making this wonderful podcast. This is one of my favourite episodes. Thank you!
My first negroni experience, Florence, the ideal place. Love this
Love Stanley
I could listen to Stanley tell stories all day.
He really is one of the best – clever, funny (so funny!!) and his show is outstanding – it really is!!
I learned how to make spaghetti carbonara by watching Stanley Tucci. I always used to add extra stuff to it. But all it takes is spaghetti, spaghetti water, good parm cheese and pepper. Simple, simple, simple but SO freaking good.
So fun! Watching from Cape Town.
Great show….lots of laughs……….Donna in Toronto
I'm always nervous about seeing actors I love on chat shows, but Stanley is always so genuine I love him even more ❤😊
Looking forward to the next show. I’ve never been disappointed with British food.
Stanley Tucci is amazing! Loved this so much!
