Book Reviews of Entertaining with the Sopranos
Book Review: A must for Sopranos fans! ... and here's a good recipe...
Summary: 5 Stars
As others have said, the book is a hoot. I especially loved the interview with "Uncle June," who can't stay focused and keeps wandering off on tangents. I did not find too many recipes I wanted to make, but I did try the Pizza Rustica (Easter Pie). I took quite a few liberties with the recipe, including using a ready-made Pillsbury crust, and using only prosciutto and a little bacon instead of all the capicola ("gabagool") and other meats that are suggested. I also didn't use cubes of mozzarella, but did include two cloves of minced garlic which I sauteed with the bacon and prosciutto. The pie was easy, tasted FABULOUS, and looked very pretty and professional when it came out of the pan! It will definitely become a staple in our house.Book Review: What A Riot!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok... I bought this book because I love the Soprano's... but I got more than I bargained for! This book is hilarious and believe it or not... there are some awesome recipes in here that even the worst cook can cook! Reading this book was like spending an evening with the Sopranos! Here you go... I liked this book so much that I am thinking of buying a few more to give out as Christmas presents! You really couldn't go wrong... not only is it funny, so it is entertaining... it has great recipes that are easy to make and taste awesome! Sounds like a gift to me! They should come out with another one... I would buy it! Get it... you won't be sorry! Totally happy with this purchase! Bada bing, bada boom!Book Review: An Italian-American Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great concept! This book, along with its counterpart The Sopranos Family Cookbook: As Compiled by Artie Bucco are two of my favorite resources for Italian-American recipes, party ideas, and pure entertainment. Any time I tell family and friends that I'm going to be cooking recipes out of one of these cookbooks they all want to come over. "Entertaining with the Sopranos" offers party planning ideas and menus for every event from birth to death. Outstanding! Highly recommended.Book Review: Deadly Serious Entertaining Ideas
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone familiar with the HBO series (and even those who aren't) will find this book both entertaining and informative. I've tried one of the recipes, and it was killer! (Pardon the pun!) Very imaginative presentation of basic and somewhat advanced entertaining ideas. And that it is written in first person makes it really, really endearing. This book gets 5 bullets from me!Book Review: Rucker's Best Yet!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Allen Rucker continues to have a handle on brilliant and entertaining writing. The recipes are fabulous, the pictures are tops - but the sidebar stories and historical/background info is interesting and captivating! Rucker is the author to follow - he brings humor and down-to-earth thoughts to his work!
