  When I first got this book the cover was confusing. I couldn't remember where I had seen this guy. I couldn't place what t.v. show I had seen him on. As I kept reading it kept bugging me so I Googled Michael Tucker. Once I saw what t.v. show he was on I said duh. I should have got that right off. I was a big fan of L. A. Law. Great show! Anyway in this book Michael takes you across the U.S. and across the continents with his food memories. But mostly this book is based in New York. My favorite story is A Child's Crab Feast in Baltimore. Michael tells the story so well that you feel like you are there with his family and friends eating all that awesome food. Phil, a family friend is taking Michael and his brother Ed out in a rusty leaky boat to catch crabs. Michael was sure he was never going to make it back to shore, he was to bail out the water while they were out in the bay. But of course they did make it back and had an awesome meal. The book is scattered with recipes for some of Michael's favorite food. This is one I'm going to try out.

  Michael Tucker has a real talent for describing meals and giving an accurate feel for places he's been. The storyline is secondary to his descriptions and reviews of the meals! The recipes are easy to follow if you so desire.

  Have you ever read a book that actually made you salivate. Actor Michael Tucker is married to actress Jill Eikenberry. He talks about memorable meals from around the world some he cooked and others cooked for him. It's a memoir about his life. It has great recipes too.

  I love food memoirs and I love the ease of Tucker's writing. I want to know this man and be welcomed into the close family circle he so loves. No more need be said!
