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.-

TAKE A BREATH
I’ve been working in the kitchen like a galley slave for the last few weeks – since before the holidays, actually, and it’s time for a parole. Continue reading
GIRL FOOD
Last night I cooked for girls. Three girls – women, I should say; lovely women and me. Okay. I can cook girl food with my eyes closed; I’ve done it for years – light on the meat, light on the wheat, heavy on the greens – no problem. The problem is what the hell am I going to eat? Continue reading
TAKE-OUT
When something consistently lets you down, when you keep ringing the same bell, hopes high, waiting for the old rush that’s just not coming, then you have to take a good, long look — at yourself, at it, the whole deal. Continue reading
