Summary: Essential Soprano collectable and great cookbook.
Review: This cookbook will give you step-by-step directions to eating Soprano style (try Carm's Ziti or the Sunday Gravy!), and it's also packed with pictures and interviews with cast memember. The interviews and text can be a little corny at times, but the recipes are solid italian food at it's best.

Summary: Good Food...and you won't just read it while you're cooking.
Review: I just happened across this book on an afternoon trip to the bookstore. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the 'vignettes' (for lack of a better word). I had to purchase it at that point.The recipes were an even more pleasant surprise. Not terribly complicated, and all thus far have been really good. This would be the perfect gift for yourself, and a really interesting addition to your cookbook collection. It definitely won't dissapoint, and is better than your average cookbook!

Summary: Creating an oxymoron--a fun cookbook!
Review: One doesn't generally think of cookbooks as entertaining, but this one is. That's just a bonus, however, as the fulsome, tongue-in-cheek, rambling escapades of the Soprano's and their "associates' juxtapose against some very fine Italian recipes. I'm only a casual Soprano viewer but, nevertheless, I found the character spiels quite entertaining. They are just wacky/tacky enough for entertainment without roaming into the completely absurd-or worse, boring. We've tried several recipes and found all excellent. They are well and logically displayed, the instructions are clear, and the lists of ingredients complete. The book does have one down side-these are not, on the whole, low fat offerings. I suppose the "family" worldview is if we can't get you one way, we can get you another! Probably snobby cooks will roll their eyes and pooh-pooh the whole thing, but for the rest of us these folks have created a wonderfully useful oxymoron-a fun cookbook!

Summary: Try Michele Scicolone's other cookbooks
Review: If you like the recipes in The Sopranos Family Cookbook, then I urge you to check out Michele Scicolone's other cookbooks such as Italian Holiday Cooking and The Antipasto Table. I have to give full disclosure here and say that I was Michele's editor, but her recipes are honest, delicious, and never fail to work.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This book is great, and not just because it has anything to do with one of the greatest tv shows ever, the Sopranos. This cookbook has excellent recipies! If you live in NY/NJ then you will recognize almost all of the dishes as the staples of any neighborhood italian restaurant. If you don't live here, this is a great way to bring the taste of NY/NJ Italian cooking home to your neck of the woods! I've already made the Chicken Francais (lemon chicken) and it came out excellent. My husband is Italian and this is one of his favorite dishes that when I've tried to make it before, it never came out quite right. This came out perfect and he loved it, as did the rest of my family. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone, whether or not you are a Sopranos fan (and who isn't?!).

Summary: FROM ONE AUTHOR TO ANOTHER
Review: This is not your average cookbook. Yes, it has great Italian dishes. But it also is written to be funny and entertaining. Which it is. My girlfriend wants me to cook for her. She figures since I'm Italian that I can cook. Fat Chance. My Mother can cook. So, I figured I'd better get this. If you like the show, and Italian food (And who doesn't like Italian food?), then this book is well worth it.

Summary: Delicious fun
Review: These recipes are actually quite good! And the accompanying stories are quite humorous. Good food, good stories... what more can ya ask for? (If ya wanna laugh at an Italian guy, though, read "No One's Even Bleeding".

Summary: Would Tony Soprano Like This Book??
Review: From Frankie Frog Eye's "Organized Cooking": ...Okay, so at this point in checking things out, I'm sure you realize that I'm very worried about reading the recipes, right? Right. So I put the book down for a while, take a few glasses of Brioschi and try to think about something else. The first thing that comes into my mind is the time I put my glasses on my ten-month-old nephew Rosario and he screwed up his face like the world had gone haywire and crawled into a wall. I almost bust a gut, but I think you had to be there.
So I start to read some of the recipes: Marinara Sauce, Sunday Gravy, Linguine con Vongole, Pizza, Pork Chops with the Vinegar Peppers. Basic stuff. But guess what? The recipes are all pretty accurate! There are even one or two made exactly the way I make mine! Thank goodness for Michele Scicolone and her recipes!...
