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. You 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 US 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.

Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
The Mafia Cookbook: Revised and Expanded is one funny cookbook. The stories "sandwiched" between each recipe are hilarious. The recipes are good old Italian weight gainers. Joe Dogs may have owned a dairy because plenty of butter and cream sauces are one of his specialties. However, don't be deterred. A little change here and there and the recipes are "safe" to eat; recipes to kill for! OOPS! I didn't mean to say that. LOL A fun book. Well worth the cost. We gave each of our children and some relatives copies as gifts for Christmas. Yup, they are all Italians with a sense of humor. Enjoy!

One of the best cookbooks
I have always taken as a matter of faith that my saintly mother's meatball recipe was the best. It is not. The meatballs you will make using this book are so deeply satisfying that they might as well be illegal.
I also found out why my previous attempts to make Hollandaise sauce failed. I have read the major cookbooks and not one of them revealed the one essential thing you have to do in order to get a thick delicious sauce. The Mafia Cookbook did.
