Entertaining with the Sopranos, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted May 7th 2006 @ 8:03AM

Sundays mean that I'll be spending my evening (an hour of it, at least) glued to the TV because the Sopranos is on. I also need sustenance during that hour and that is where the relatively new Entertaining with the Sopranos Cookbook comes in. Bearing the words "as compiled by Carmela Soprano" on the cover, the book is actually written by Allen Rucker with recipes by Michele Scicolone, the same pair who put together The Sopranos Family Cookbook (which is excellent, by the way). Entertaining is, unsurprisingly, a guide to entertaining, packed with recipes, tips and interesting party hosting ideas. Alas, there isn't a suggestion specifically for hosting a Soprano's viewing party, but there are plenty for weddings, funerals, birthdays and barbecues, so you'll definitely be able to find something to suit your needs for every other event. The book is fully illustrated with great color photos and also has many stories and bits of advice "contributed" by Sopranos family members and friends. It's a great book for any Sopranos fan.
