Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In The Mafia Cookbook, Joe Dogs took the quintessential Mob formula -- murder, betrayal, food -- and turned it into a bestseller, not surprisingly, since Joe Dogs's mixture of authentic Italian recipes and colorful Mafia anecdotes is as much fun to read as it is to cook from.
Now The Mafia Cookbook is reprinted with Cooking on the Lam -- adding thirty-seven original new recipes and a thrilling account of Dogs's recent years since he testified against the Mob in five major trials, all told in his authentic, inimitable tough-guy style.
The new recipes are simple, quick, and completely foolproof, including such classic dishes as Shrimp Scampi, Tomato Sauce (the Mob mainstay), Chicken Cordon Bleu, Veal Piccata, Marinated Asparagus Wrapped with Prosciutto, Baked Stuffed Clams, Veal Chops Milanese, Sicilian (what else?) Caponata, Gambino-style Fried Chicken, Lobster Thermidor (for when you want to celebrate that big score), and desserts rich enough to melt a loan shark's heart. Readers can follow these recipes and learn to cook Italian anytime, anywhere, even on the lam, even in places where Italian groceries may be hard or impossible to find.Tested by Mob heavy hitters as well as FBI agents and U.S. marshals, these recipes are simple to follow, full of timesaving shortcuts, and liberally seasoned with Joe Dogs's stories of life inside -- and outside -- the Mob. This is the perfect cookbook for anyone who wants to make the kind of food that Tony Soprano only dreams about.

Looked forever for a good chicken marsala recipe, The best one I have ever found is inside this book. For that recipe alone it is worth it. To be honest I have never tried any of the other recipes, and I have owned this book for years.

Love the recipes and the stories that go with them. Very good cook book.

The stories in this book are hilarious and if you've ever met one of these guys it is even funnier. But that's another story and I only speak metaphorically because I don't want the FBI searching my underwear drawer. Not that there's anything there...
The recipes are relatively easy to prepare. Not all are Italian, but most of the recipes we have tried have been delicious. This will not be on your shelf for being the definitive Italian or Italian American cookbook, The Mafia Cookbook will just remind you of slightly dangerous stories every time you think of the specific dishes. Plus you will learn a thing or two to help you identify the bad boys and separate them from the G-men.

Great Italian-American cookbook! I like the size of it. Very impressive recipes. I often wonder why a great cook like this does not open his own restaurant! With his reputation and great food it would be a win-win situation!
This book is for Italian food lovers as well as Mafia buffs. It is worth the price.

I was very pleased with this cookbook purchase. I have numerous cookbooks, but this is becoming a favorite already. Yes, it may not be traditional Italian food, but who cares as long as it tastes good. Those that mock adding dry mustard and chicken stock to marinara sauce obviously have not tried this delicious recipe. The Pasta Marinara and the Veal Marsala have received great reviews from those I have served it to. I'm going to purchase a few copies as gifts because people have been requesting the recipes. I'm no chef, but I know what I like. Try the recipes before you decide just how "authentic" they are. I think you'll be pleased with the flavors and how easy they are to prepare. Two thumbs up!
