Very simple recipes. The photos of the various actors and scenes from the series are great. It makes you recall what a great series this was and the bonus is: you get recipes!
Great gift for a Sopranos and italian food lover! Timely shipping and arrived in good shape.
This is the best Italian cookbook I've ever owned. Every recipe in here is something from my childhood.
This book was meant to be funny, and it is totally entertaining, but the recipes are legit!! I found some old school recipes that my grandmom used to make--it is fantastic!!
