About Michael Tucker
I’ve been an actor for about forty years and a writer for half as many. I have worked in theater, TV and movies - in New York, California and many points in between. I’m married to the actress Jill Eikenberry – thirty-eight years this June – and we now divide our time between New York and Italy, where we have a house nestled among the olive trees in Umbria. I’ve written three books, all of which have food and drink prominently involved. The first is “I Never Forget a Meal” which explains itself; “Living In a Foreign Language” about our house in Italy; and “Family Meals”, a book about how our family turned into Italians around the crisis of Jill’s mother’s decline into dementia. There’s a lot of food in that one, too.-

SCARPARIELLO
It’s funny what you think you know. For the last thirty-five years I’ve
been cooking chicken scarpariello – or shoemakers’ chicken — for my
family. Continue reading
WINE TASTING
I got a chance to do a private tasting of white wines last week. It was
extremely private in the sense that the only people at the party were me and
my refrigerator. Continue reading

Back In The Old Wasteland
First meal back in the States, I hit the ground running with a burger.

patriotic surge in my breast for that purest symbol of American North
American Americanism – the hamburger. Continue reading
