Chicken Cacciatore, Shrimp Scampi Gambino-style and Manicotti Marinara are just a few of the traditional Italian dishes from "Joe Dogs" Iannuzzi's Mafia Cookbook that will make you feel like a made man. With a collection of anecdotes of Joe Dogs' life with the mob, this book isa good read even if you don't cook. If you do, most of the dishes feature minimal preparation time and do not call for complex ingredients requiring pre-preparation. Overall, the book would compliment most cooking libraries and work especially well for the novice Italian chef.
