Kurzbeschreibung
Recipes to make even the toughest tough guy beg for more…
Mom’s Antipasto • Sunday Gravy (Meat Sauce) • Cheater’s Chicken Stock • Striped Bass for Paulie • Fat Larry’s Pizza Dough • Henry’s Kickback Antipasti Hero • Sicilian Easter Bread with Colored Eggs • Clams Casino • Osso Buco • Oven Penitentiary Sauce with Sausage • Michael’s Favorite Ziti with Meat Sauce • and many others
Henry Hill was a born wiseguy. At the pizzeria where he worked as a kid, he learned to substitute pork for veal in cutlets—which came in handy later when the bankroll was low. At thirteen, he got his first percentage from a local deli—that lost business when he started supplying the neighborhood wiseguys with his own heroes. And what great heroes they were…
Once he entered Witness Protection, though, Hill found himself in places where prosciutto was impossible to get and gravy was something you put on mashed potatoes. So he learned to fake it when necessary (for example, Romano with white pepper took the place of real pecorino-siciliano cheese), and wherever he found himself, Hill managed to keep good Italian food on the table. He still brings this flair for improvisation to his cooking. No recipe is set in stone. And substitutions are listed in case you need them.
Now, in his inimitable style, Hill tells some spicy stories of his life in the Mob and shows you how to whip up his favorite dishes, Sicilian style—even when you’re cooking on the run....

Ich hatte wirklich gedacht, dass das Buch ein Marketinggag sei. Eine Möglichkeit für Hill, noch mal ein bisschen Kapital aus seiner Bekanntheit zu schlagen, ohne dafür tatsächlich Gegenwert zu bieten. Weit gefehlt. Man kann herauslesen, wie viel ihm das Kochen bedeutet. Den Stolz, die Liebe, die Erfahrung, das Augenmerk für jedes Detail. Es zieht sich durch das Buch, das einen chronologisch durch Hills Leben führt und dabei im Vorbeigehen alles Wichtige beibringt. Desweiteren sorgt die Chronologie dafür, dass man große Tafelgerichte genauso lernt, wie Dinge, die man "on the run" in kurzer Zeit und mit einem Mindestmaß an Equipment zubereiten kann. Sein Stolz hat es einfach nicht zugelassen, das Essen, das ihm so lieb ist, zu beleidigen und deshalb ist das Buch gut und ehrlich. Um genau zu sein, ist es eines der besten Kochbücher über italienische Küche, das ich kenne. Dinge, die ich in langer Recherche lernen musste, stehen da einfach nebeneinander. Und es kostet fast nichts.

Es gibt viele ital. Kochbücher, aber nur eines mit einfachen und einmalig leckeren Rezepten eines Hollywood Helden gespickt mit fantastischen Anekdoten! Sowas von lecker! authentico italiano! (wenn ich sowas beurteilen kann)
Bitte nachmachen!

There's the Sopranos, and then there's the Goodfellas
8. Januar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Don't dis the Sopranos book -- just don't say it's the same thing as this. The Sopranos Family Cookbook is marketing with good recipes, whereas Henry Hill's masterpiece here is as much a retelling of his biography as it is an excellent Sicilian-American cookbook with a heavy emphasis on making do when you can't get what you need.
I think the recipe that sums this book up best is the Oven Penitentiary Sauce, a concoction that Henry and his prison buddies cooked up for those days when the guards have taken all your pots and pans away and all you've got is the steam table pans and the prison bakery. The whole book is like that -- real food, salvaged when something goes wrong. Lots of Italian, but a few surprises from other parts of the country (particularly the South), reflecting Henry's travels in Witness Protection. Substitutions are a big deal too -- from the pork-for-veal scam Hill learned as a kid working in a pizzeria all the way up. Hill's message to cooks: you can always find a way to make it work.
At my bookstore we sold a couple of hundred copies of the Sopranos book over the Holidays, and that was pretty cool. But I had two standard recommendations to go along with that -- Italian Classics from Cooks Illustrated and this one. Of all three (and I say buy them all), fuhgeddaboutit, this is the best -- it's very autobiographical, and will leave you very, very hungry at the end.

One of my 3 favorite cookbooks
27. Februar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the 3 cookbooks that have changed what I eat and the way I cook. Henry Hill has some excellent classic recipes and adds his own little twists to each recipe. Having lived away from major cities myself for some time, I especially could relate to his struggles to find the right ingredients. His mob stories are amusing too.
I read the book cover to cover because it is kind of in a story form. Hill will tell a few stories about a particular place he lived and then give recipes for the food he ate there. I highly recommend this cookbook. It is a must have.

When the rumors began flying about this book I laughed. What! Now this guy is doing a cookbook! I was intrigued. I received the book today,read it from cover to cover and made garbanzo bean salad and grilled eggplant,hey, pretty damn good! I plan a trip to the grocery store tomorrow for ingredients of fresh herbs a few spices and such to try out more recipes, will surprise the husband....."men love variety".
This book flows naturally, the stories introducing the recipes,the rules,tips and advice all flow very well. It's an easy and entertaining read. Definitely will play around with these recipes for a long time. There are recipes for the beginner to the more serious and experienced house chef.
Henry Hill is a great storyteller,honest and sincere,this quality really shines in this book. Forget the wiseguy and goodfella aspects of Henry Hill for a second, read between the lines and you'll find that he shares a part of himself that is really close to his heart, his love of cooking, the recipes and what it all means to him. I'm sure many can relate. I recommend this cookbook, not as a novelty but as a real collection of authentic Italian recipes,in addition to some old all American favorites. It's impressive.
