Product Description

Eat like America's favourite crime family: fabulous Southern Italian recipes, photos, and lore from the hit series THE SOPRANOS.

Not just a SOPRANOS fan book, not just your typical Italian cookbook, THE SOPRANOS FAMILY COOKBOOK makes it easy to cook ziti as good as Carmela's and satisfy your SOPRANOS cravings at the same time.

THE SOPRANOS FAMILY COOKBOOK contains over one hundred recipes created with the character in mind, luscious pictures of the prepared dishes and photographs of Tony, his family, and all the wiseguys eating and cooking big, beautiful Italian meals. We've got Uncle Junior waxing nostalgic about Newark's Little Italy, Tony's grilling tips, Janice's stroll down dysfunctional memory lane, Artie's signature specialties a la Bucco, Livia's handwritten recipe for biscotti from 1967 and Carmela's favor-inducing ricotta pie with pineapple.

Salted with SOPRANOS flavour, peppered with little known background and references, get behind the scenes - and into the kitchen - with these family dishes. The way to the heart of the SOPRANOS is through the stomach, and the way to create traditional Neapolitan feasts is with THE SOPRANOS FAMILY COOKBOOK.

Badda-Bing!!
I recently bought this book for my (Sopranos Addicted) Uncle and he adores it! Not only are there some gorgeous recipes (we made the mussels last week) but the book is filled with comments, photos and cuttings form the show. Written in Soprano style language, you really feel like this is a collection of recipes passed down the generations of your favourite mobster family straight to you!

A masterpice for Soprano hungry addicts
I was so excited when I received this book as I longed for god knows how long to taste the recipes Carmela was cooking in the kitchen or make the cream buns the guys munched in the office and it was worth the wait. All the food you hear in the programme the recipes are in the book. Each character has a part in the book where they show you their favourite recipes , paulie even shows you the right way to cut a garlic while Adrianna shows you what food to order to impress your man. There is alot of fan information added to the recipes. The only gripe was that some of the ingredients are not available over here however if your into cooking you will find some way to swap them over. Well worth the money and a must for Sopranos fans !!!

Yum Yum Bada Bing!
A gorgeous great looking book. There are lots of notes about the Sopranos and extended family and the many recipes are delicious if a little rich (I'll admit to being a little daunted by the "Sunday Gravy" recipe). A word of advice though, all the recipes are in American measures but not a real problem for all us fans!
