It is a lunch Sunday in the remote village of seenica in the village Stanley Tuchi To join his family for traditional Timbero feast. In the kitchen, the mother of Cortellini, Lucia, is in the fireplace, and she hangs with a sensitive Krebis experience – or Criphel – in a frying pan. The dish was born of French influence, which was modified during the Nabeli invasion with water instead of Milk and olive oil instead of Obesity. But the real reason for Lucia makes it? “His mother, Lucia, does not trust him in today’s lunch,” Tucci Diet in the audio comment of his new national geographical series, “Tuchi in Italy.”
He who says something, given that Cortellini was a chef for 25 years, including more than a decade as head of chef at the Italian embassy in London.
Watch Tucci with the sanctification of equal and entertainment parts where LUCIA builds Showstopper: Crespelle layers, Ragù, Tiny Meat balls Cheese, every carbon is polished to wash the eggs, so it wanders in the oven a little.
“One of the reasons that led to this story is that my family makes this – what we call Timbano“It is a tour. It contains a dough from the outside, almost like pizza dough, somewhat, nothing from the inside.
This is the opening scene of the “Abruzzo” episode – an emotional center suitable for the series as a whole. “Tucci in Italy” is a five -part journey through picturesque landscape, rich cooking traditions and intimate cultural history that forms the Italian identity, the region by the region. But when we talked over Zoom before the launch of the show, this dish – this moment – is what TUCCI remains around.
He said, “I really felt contact with the story of Danilo.” “He is very detailed, in Italian and English alike, and here is a man who still returns to his roots. He lives there. He spent years in London, and the chef was in the Italian embassy, yet he returned to his hometown. He will not exceed even his mother’s fingers when you make the dish – he does not allow him, and I love it.”
When asked about the dish from filming the season he wanted to re -create, he again indicated that he was in Danilo’s kitchen: “I liked it. Timbero He said: “They were made in Abrotzo with the crepe. I would like to try it myself.”
When watching, if this is Timbero The moment feels a little bit, because it is. It is not in the sense of gradual or performance, but in the way you complete a circle that started almost three decades ago with “Big Night”.
In those classic sects of 1996-who participated in writing TUCCI, he participated in directing, and the role of the championship-an Italian restaurant is struggling to prepare a feast once in a lifetime to persuade the rumor VIP guest. In the midst of that amazing delicious dinner is the above mentioned TimbanoLarge marvels in the form of a drum full of pasta, meat balls, salami, boiled eggs, cheese and flesh. An unveiling of a semi -religious experience.
The dish has become a symbol of love, ambition and hunger migrants – for both belonging and excellence. Over time, “Big Night’s” has grown to something bigger: A Pop Culture Touchstone, Tucci Family Legend, and a viral recipe.
But here in a scenario, that spirit is in a quieter and more intimate record.
There is no “big night” conversation in the show. TUCCI does not attend it. Not in the episode “Abruzzo”, not even in our interview. This silence speaks folders. About the Tucci offer in Italy, yes, but also about the kind of celebrities chosen by TUCCI.
“Big Night” is a classic worship among food lovers – a movie that captures the pain and beauty of the life of the Network Restaurant Pre -food, before the chefs were praised, at least in some circles, such as Rockstars Culinary. It relates to ambition, hunger and the art of feeding people who may not be able to nominate what they just have eaten. Imagination, but he was penetrating reverence. You can feel it in food and in the way the camera holds.
Tucci could have been indulged in a small nostalgia here. The movie is 30 years old next year, after all; No one had retreated in a stupid call Timbano A moment, even just a snapshot of nostalgia. But he does not take the taste. Instead, the frame holds a constant – and gives the moment to Danilo and Lucia. Timballo is served at Sunday lunch, inactive. There is no great examination. Just wine and crop layers and a conversation on how cars reach this remote angle from Abruzzo even after World War II.
“It is not about me. It is about telling the stories themselves. People have to tell their stories. I can’t impose anything. My job is to say,” We found this story. We think it’s interesting. Tell us now. “
It is a sharp contradiction with the food media era from which we come out now – one of them is obsessed with celebrities who have not been able to cook, but they are cheering anyway. Ludkris was a show called “Loda cannot be cooking.” Likewise, Paris Hilton, which was copied the short -lived Netflix series from YouTube Gate channel where it made something called “Sliving Lasagna”. (Portmanteau from “Slaying” and “Living” naturally.) Its advice was freed towards shiny chaos: sunglasses in the kitchen, salt is removed with a paper towel, and garlic is clearly absent. Adding camp, definitely. But mostly the scene.
Tuchi could have been this moment on. He did not. In this correction, something is generous – quiet confidence in the material, and in the people who live on it. Like the plate itself, the moment does not require applause. He simply presents himself.
“For me to correctly tell these stories, it is not about the scene,” Tucci told me. “Not”, let’s show you Stanley in an attempt to ride a horse or a tortilla roll. “From time to time I will try it, but this does not go beyond that.
In a calm development of fate, it was announced earlier this week that the star participating in Tuchi and his fictional brother from the movie, Tony Shaloub, is preparing to host his food show as well. “Tony Shaloub: Breaking bread“This fall will be shown on CNN, centered around travel, hospitality and comfortable global – guess – bread.
It is impossible not to think about the final scene “Big Night”: No music, nor monologue, only brothers in the kitchen, sharing silently loaf and some eggs. It was the moment you say everything about hunger, forgiveness and love – without saying a word. Now, nearly three decades, both men still feed us, still find meaning in the simplest rituals. However, in some way, break the bread.
