Books like this one, based upon television shows or movies, often don't get taken seriously. Serious foodies and cookbook junkies typically dismiss them, and with good reason, as novelty items. But I have to tell you, that shouldn't be the case with Entertaining with the Sopranos. Sure it's filled with photos from the blockbuster HBO television series. And sure, fans of the show will enjoy reading the text, entertainingly "written" by various characters of the show. But (and this is the important part) -- even if you have never seen the show, never will see the show, or you don't like the premise of the show -- this is a fine book on entertaining in and of itself.
