The American crime-drama series on HBO, The Sopranos, created by David Chase, has long entered the treasury of world cinema and has become a cult classic. To know a people is to know what they eat, and vice versa, we present to you a generous portion of Italian heritage, timeless in its essence – The Sopranos Family Cookbook. Nuovo Vesuvio.

From arancini to zabaglione, from baccalà to Sinatra-style quail, Artie Bucco and his guests, the Soprano family and their associates, offer food lovers a hundred recipes in the style of the province of Avellino, as well as valuable culinary advice. But that's not all! Artie, like a cornucopia, generously sprinkles you with a treasure trove of invaluable artifacts from the Soprano family, including old photographs illustrating life in bygone times, a menu from the first Bucco family restaurant – Vesuvio 1926, A.J.'s school essay on the topic Why I Love Food, style tips for food lovers from Bobby Bacala, and much, much more. So sit down at the big dining table, and your companions will be the characters of the series. Tony Soprano, waste disposal specialist: Most people soak a bag of cheap briquettes in lighter fluid and then cook a pork chop until it becomes a tough sole and think they’re Wolfgang Puck. Enjoy his grilled sausages with fennel or cheese. Warning: piercing the skin of a juicy sausage poses a fire hazard. Corrado Junior Soprano, Tony's uncle: Mom was always cooking. None of us ever died from an excess of cholesterol or similar nonsense. Try his pasta with beans, an enticing combination of cannellini beans and ditalini pasta, or jambotti, noble vegetables.
