I didn't find any reviews of the Soprano Cookbook on the board, so I thought I'd fill you in. According to a great cook that I know - my wife - it's fantastic, and I'll vouch for that. She has made several dishes and they have all been great: veal, sausage, even a fillet mignon. Nice, easy recipes, and a nice variety of flavors; garlic (of course), mushrooms, onions, peppers, the works. I recommend it as a gift, for yourself, spouse, mother or ?? It's also good reading.

It does sound like an excellent resource for the kitchen and I plan to get it one day. I do actually think of myself as an ameture cook, learned everything I know from my mum.

Oh and i'm not fully sure but I think JG said he bought this book too, it was either this or Henry Hill cookbook.

Thanks Mary Cas,

Even tho I do cook Italian food, there are many things I don't know how to make and would like to expand my knowledge. I may just suggest that for a Christmas present.

Btw, I know Zitti is big in the Soprano household. Unless, my mom made it and called it something else, I never had it. Either that or it is more of an "Italian" dish moreso than a Sicilian dish. I don't know.

A Soprano cookbook? Where can you get this?

(I don't get HBO so I don't watch this show - have only seen it via Blockbuster videos). Also, how much it it? thanks.

The Sopranos Family Cookbook (and Henry Hill's The Wiseguy Cookbook) can be found here (of course )

Well I don't really know how to cook. I live off of sandwiches and microwavable foods. But learning to cook Italian food sounds like fun. Maybe I will but the cookbook. If all else fails I will burn the food and waste a few dollars.

to my surprise, there is a great sunday gavy recipe. all the recipes are extremely similar to my grandmothers. they all taste homemade. some are pretty hard to make tho. definently buy it.

I was at the local bookstore and looked at both the cookbooks ( Henry Hill's, and Sopranos) they both have great recipe's and as much as I love to cook I'm anxious to try them. But the thought of looking like Clemenza after eating most of them turned me away from purchasing them.

The Soprano dinner this past Wednesday:
Pasta and Broccili. My wife has made this dish many times, but this was the first time from the Soprano CB. By far the best. I asked what the difference was, not the ingredience, but the method. After the broccili and pasta were cooked, they were put in a big frying pan to simmer with leftover water from the pasta. I don't look like Clemenza...yet....but I could have this stuff for dessert.

Hi Mary Cas,

I don't have the Soprano's CB, but have had pasta with broccoli many times as a kid. With a family of six my mom knew many different ways to prepare posta which is filling and goes a long way. All I'm sure have an authentic Italian name but I knew them as pasta with: Broccolli or peas or garlic & tomato, oil & garlic or even with butter (form of fettuccini). Mmmm. I'm making myself hungry now.
