Title: Not a recipe book
Review: Joseph Iannuzzi tells us, "I learned the hard way. How to cook that is". I don't doubt him much. Each recipe is accompanied by a narrative about what dish he served to which gangster. The stories are probably true, but I think you will find them weakly supsicious (author admits facts are rearranged at will to fit recipes). If you're looking for a novelty cookbook with some very good and very basic Italian recipes, this is your thing. If you are looking for a standard or definitive Italian cookbook... move on.
