Don't Fill Up On The Antipasto: Tony Danza's Father-Son Cookbook

List Price: $22.00
Lowest Price: $12.72

Product Description:

In the Danza family, the men did most of the cooking -- great Italian-American food that has remained the favorite cuisine in American households for more than a century.

Now, actor, television personality, and exuberant cook Tony Danza and his son, Marc (and grandson, Nicholas!), invite you into the kitchen with their huge, at times hilarious, Italian-American clan for 50 top-secret family recipes (the sauce and the lasagna) and never-before-shared stories and photographs.

You'll meet Tony's mom and dad, and Tony's mom's family, the Camisas. You'll meet Marc's family and of course his son, Nicholas. You'll meet the uncles, the aunts, and the cousins, all important people in Tony's and Marc's upbringing. You'll read stories about an Italian immigrant family that grew strong in America and really lived the American dream.

The stories are, for the most part, wrapped around the recipes and the food that was the center of family life: Uncle John's Pasta with Prosciutto Sauce, Mother's Lasagna, Chicken with Lemon and Garlic, Holiday Antipasto, Roasted Chicken and Potatoes, Escarole and Bean Soup, Ricotta Cheesecake, and even Tony and Marc's Quick or Date Sauce, a fabulous tomato sauce that's fast, easy, and sure to help you impress the ladies.

So pull up a chair, pick up a fork, and join Tony and Marc as they cook, eat, and laugh their way through the generations. And remember, "don't fill up on the antipasto."

Laura's review
My daughter encouraged me to purchase this book; I started reading,and loved the stories,which literally feed the recipes. Being of Italian decent,I completely identify with the importance of food and family. Unfortunatly my father,who has since past away never wrote any of his secret recipes down. Tony's book includes many of the recipes my father made. Thank you Tony!

PS I purchased several more for family members- a great gift.

Sunday Dinner at Grandma's. ( usually in the afternoon )
This is the only Italian Cookbook that you will need.

Easy to prepare recipes, however this is what we ate in the old days.
Easy to make "The Perfect Meatball" Gravey ( sauce ) in half the time.

The book is your basic Italian cookbook. If you are Italian or want to be Italian, this book is for you. If you are from Brooklyn or Queens, you will enjoy the very short stories included.
