The Sopranos Family Cookbook as Compiled By Artie Bucco by Rucker, Allen - 2002

New York: Warner Books, 2002. Any fan of The Sopranos knows how the family loved to eat, and this special Sopranos Family Cookbook provides 100 Avelinese-style recipes and preparation tips for making a meal any godfather could be proud of. The book includes full-color photos of the recipes and of the cast. (The endpapers show a delightful photo of the sociopathic Livia setting her kitchen on fire.) The book is divided into chapters showing favorite recipes from such characters as Artie Bucco, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri, Adriana La Cerva, Carmela Soprano, Bobby Bacala, Corrado (Junior) Soprano, Janice Soprano, and more.

Both the book and the price-unclipped dust jacket as in As New, unread condition. The book is bound in black paper-covered boards with die-stamped metallic red spine titles. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. The book is a true collectible for Sopranos admirers and lovers of great Italian cuisine.. Stated First Printing. Hard Cover.
