(Hide Review...)  Great cookbook!

After using this cookbook for years, I bought this one for my sister. The stories bring back a lot of memories of our Italian family (don't know whether that's good or bad!). The recipes are delicious. If you want authentic Italian food then buy this book! I love it!

I purchased this as part of a gift basket that was being auctioned off by an organization my company belongs to. Since we're based out of New Jersey, we provided a "Sopranos" themed gift basket. We purchased the gift basket online, which contained wine and pasta and included the cookbook as an addition.

The book is a combination cookbook, and character study -- all the characters of the Sopranos give their favorite recipes and living tips (!) -- and stay in their character.

It is most interesting, and the recipes are good!

If you were a fan of the show, "Sopranos" then you'll love the cookbook. Not only does it include great recipes but it also incoprates humor which I would be willing to say I don't know any cookbook that also provides a sense of humor.

(Hide Review...)  Authentic, old-school Italian-American recipes
Reviewer Permalink
I received this as a gift. As an Italian-American and an excellent cook, I was a little insulted. Well, I got over it in the first few minutes of perusing this book. This is what growing up on the East coast in an Italian-American family tastes like. The recipes brought back the sweetest, happiest memories. Michele Scicolone provides truly authentic recipes. As for the Soprano's blurbs, I can take them or leave them. I actually refer to this book often when cooking. Even though I own about 60 cookbooks, I consider this book one of my top 5. If you are looking for that Italian-American food experience, this is your book. If you're Italian and you want a collection of recipes your grandmother and your mother cooked for the family, this is your book. You can't go wrong.

I have bought this book a few years ago and have made several recipies from the book. Everything I have cooked using the recipes has came out super delishious. I have cooked for guests as well and they have thought I had bought the food from a resturant when I have in fact cooked it myself! Absolutly delishous!!! Gotta have this book in your Kitchen!

(Hide Review...)  Dishes Like I Remember
Reviewer Permalink
I'm not Italian, but I grew up in a heavily Italian area of Pittsburgh and ended up having lots of Italian friends and eating lots of Italian dishes by default, which I still proudly serve today to my own family. Actually, I should say "Italian-American," rather than Italian. The recipes in this book are exactly like many of the things I tasted growing up in Pittsburgh, from the pastas to the soups to the desserts, and that I still proudly serve to my own family, remembering each person from whom I obtained the recipe (not written down, more often than not). The commentary in the book (each chapter is narrated by a character from "The Sopranos" television series) is both humorous and informative. I heartily recommend this volume as an addition to any home cook's library who is interested in Italian-American cuisine and a little bit of its history, especially the cuisine that originated in Naples (as did many of the Italian families in Pittsburgh). Try the peppers and egg sandwich for the Superbowl! Buon appetito!

My favorite cookbook. Especially, since I am now known for "my sunday gravy" and my family must have me make it. So if you want to impress your family and friends with "YOUR SUNDAY GRAVY", this is the book for you. Pass the love around. There are many other recipes that are delicious but this one hit the home run - go Marlins.

(Hide Review...)  Italian Made Easy
Reviewer Permalink
I did not know what to expect from this cookbook.

As a recent rabid fan of The Sopranos (in DVD courtesy Netflix) and being of a culture which like the Italians also worships food, fellowship, and Sunday dinner (Southern/Hispanic) a cook book would have to be exceptional to top my idea of 'eating," best described as Paula Deen does Tex Mex/Creole.

The Sopranos Family Cookbook is 'all that' and more.

Several of the recipes are now family staples, the Penne a la Vodka, the basic marinara and the Caesar salad.

The commentary by characters in the show is well-presented and will give you a good chuckle if you are a fan.

Excellent photography.

If you have ever heard the old adage, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, 'Carmela' and 'Adriana,' they understand.

Delightful for fans of the show and/or a great primer for Italian cuisine made simple -- and fun.

Well, this is just an echo of all the positive reviews here, but this is really one of the best cookbooks on my shelf -- and I have a lot! Every recipe I've tried has been very authentic and great, except perhaps the recipe for cannolis called for a little too much cinnamon for my son's taste. The recipe for Rollatini di Pesce Spada was one of the best fish dishes I've ever made!

Even if you don't watch the Sopranos, if you like good old-fashioned Italian food, get this book!

I am Italian and consider myself an excellent cook. I was thrilled to find the recipes in this cookbook to be so authentic. The Sunday Gravy could've been my recipe. It is how I was taught by my mother and my grandmother ! We have always made our own pasta and zeppoles and our family recipes match or come very close to the recipes in the book. I bought 3 more to save them for my own 3 daughters for future use. This is definitely a must-have book if you like authentic Italian cooking!

This book brought back so many memories of living in Newark, New Jersey as a youngster and learning from my mother and grandmother how to cook. I am now sharing this with my son and grandchildren who have expressed a desire to learn to cook the way Grandma does. The stories are great and it was a pleasure to see Artie call "spaghetti sauce" by the name I still use, which is "red gravy".

Recipes are easy, from the province in Italy my people came from, and totally enjoyable. But most of all, they are authentic!!

And the stories.......again, full of memories of Newark, New Jersey.

I have even ordered extras to give out to friends.

You don't have to be Italian to cook like one. (I am). This book makes it easy, informative and delightful.

If you love to cook (or not) and eat, this book is worth getting. Soprano fan or not, it's a great cookbook to add to your collection. I had the book for a week now, so far, I made Janice's baked ziti (I didn't have time to make the Sunday Gravy that's why I made Janice's it was quick and the sauce was good (minus the peas), however, I added more basil and garlic--you can never have enough garlic), then I made the roasted chicken with lemon, garlic, and oregano--finger-lickin' good; and the Biscotti Regina Cookies--we made total pigs out of ourselves, afraid to make another batch; and the pastina with ricotta and the Pineapple ricotta pie--pure comfort food and simple. When I get some nice peppers, I will make the egg and pepper sandwich. Need I say more? This cookbook compels you to make food and enjoy with friends.... thanks Carmella, thanks Artie

(Hide Review...)  A Must Have for Die-hard Sopranos Fans
Reviewer Permalink
I ordered this cookbook so that I could use authentic "Sopranos" recipes for a dinner I made for my husband and myself to enjoy while watching the final episode of "The Sopranos". This is a fun cookbook in that it is written by "Artie" and contains stories contributed by other characters in the series. I enjoyed reading about "Janice's" memories of Sunday dinner growing up in the Soprano household; "Bobby Baccalieri's" love affair with food and the many other stories included in the book.

I have only tried two recipes so far - the baked Ziti and the Tiramisu. The Ziti was delicious but a bit time consuming to put together. Next time I decide to make it I think I will put it all together the day before so I only have to deal with baking it the next day. Tiramisu is probably my most favorite dessert. This was a simple recipe and it went together in no time. Next time I make it I plan to use cocoa powder instead of the chopped up chocolate and I also will line the dish with plastic wrap to ease the removal of the dessert from the pan. Also, I couldn't find any ladyfingers in my area so I used a sponge cake. It worked OK but after a day or so became very soggy. I wouldn't recommend using it as a replacement for the ladyfingers.

When I opened this book, my first laugh came immediately upon seeing the photo of Livia Soprano in the kitchen on the inside cover spread. The rest of the book is great humor interspersed with authentic Italian recipes. I was pleasantly surprised at the large number of recipes included. Obviously the humor and entertainment value depends largely upon the reader being a Soprano's fan, but if you are a fan, I highly recommend this book.

Reviewer Permalink
This book is not for the novice. The recipes in the book are, at their core, sound. However, one should be cautions when following some of their directions. Almost all of the recipes require modifications to some degree. Part of it is commom sense, part is personal taste (that's if you like your chicken to have the consistency of shoe leather; seriously, an hour and a half for baked chicken?).

That said, the recipes themselves are fantastic. I've happily stuffed my face with Ziti al Forno, Minestra, Eggs in Purgatory, and Zeppole (donuts).

I have been an avid fan of the Sopranos since day one and when I saw this cookbook on the bookshelf I went right for it. First off, I didn't' buy the book for the recipes, I bought it for the pictures and stories but once I started looking at the recipes I got intrigued. I made the manicotti and escarole with garlic recipes! Not only did they turn out delicious but they were pretty simple to make and follow. Now I try to pick one special recipe from this book and make it before the show comes on every Sunday.

Reviewer Permalink
As many others have mentioned you need to double check temps and in even some cases quantities or portions of ingredients. All in all I love this cookbook for many reasons, most of which is the way the recipes are presented. It is fun to read along some of the storylines as you browse for a new meal to make the family. I never had an Italian mother to compare these recipes to so I am not judging the book under pretense. But we grew up in an area with many fine Italian restaurants and how I miss those places.

This cookbook makes it fun on Sundays to recreate some of the favorites we used to "order out". Take this cook book with some levity and have fun while you cook, that's really what it's all about.

If you're looking for a cookbook on regional Italian cuisine buy Marcella Hazan or Lidia Bastianich instead. If you want haute Italian buy Mario Batali. If you're looking for some authentic east coast Italian-American family home cooking then get this is the book. This is stuff your mom or grandma would make. I bought this as a joke on a whim as a Soprano's memorabilia item and was pleasantly surprised to find it's a good cookbook to boot. The recipes are easy, functional, and tasty. The ingredients are simple to find. One word of advice though, as others have noted, keep a close eye on the cooking temperatures because sometimes they seem a bit off, though the ingredients and proportions are excellent and can be easily tweaked to your taste. Two other books I'd recommend of the same sort are Rao's cookbook and The Wise Guy cookbook. Like the Soprano's cookbook they have yummy home cooking with lots of amusing anecdotes that make the books fun to read.
