The first artie b. book was better if you are looking for italian recipes. If you are looking for information on entertaining then you will like this book. Otherwise, you will find less recipes and be less impressed.

I have throughly enjoyed reading this book.

It has all the characters in the Sopranos giving out advice on what to do at certain social gatherings and Carmela is the star because it is told from her viewpoint.

It is a fun read and informative. I tried one of the recipes tonight and it was delicious.

If you are a fan of The Sopranos or a lover of cookbooks it has something for you. It has a lot of articles and pictures from the show.

It is worth a read.

ordered 3 copies from Amazon ... the box they came in was ripped apart--damaged-- but no damage to the three books luckily.. hand delivered to me at my door by our mailman

suggest Amazon do a better job of packing... box they came in was kind of flimsy...

good content.. great home style recipes like we used growing up in Brooklyn in our Italian family... pretty close to our original recipes..

This was an ideal present for a Sopranos fan who is difficult to buy for; a great mix of recipes with input from the characters.

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.
