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.
