We finish with a green salad followed by nuts and fresh fruit.

“I love fish,” says actor and cookbook author Stanley Tucci. “I love stew. I love fish stew.” This version—stufato di pesce—is Italian in origin, but Tucci adds a little saffron as an homage to a French bouillabaisse.

Cookbook author and actor Stanley Tucci explains, “When I was working a lot in Los Angeles, it seemed that every restaurant had it on their menu—which is hardly surprising: they have access to terrific tomatoes year-round.” If you have a heat diffuser, use it when sautéing the garlic and onion; you want them to soften but not take on any color before adding the tomatoes.
