About this title

Synopsis

Henry Hill was a born wiseguy, and his love of food got him through both the good and bad times. Even cooking on the run in the Federal Witness Protection Program-where prosciutto was impossible to find and gravy was something you put on mashed potatoes-he 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 just in case.

Now, in his inimitable style, Hill tells some spicy stories of his life in the Mob and out, and shows readers how to whip up his favorite dishes, Sicilian-style-recipes to make even the toughest tough-guy beg for more...

Mom's Antipasto � Sunday Gravy (Meat Sauce) � Cheaters 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 Bucco � Oven Penitentiary Sauce with Sausage � Michael's Favorite Ziti with Meat Sauce � and many others

About the Author

Henry Hill began working for the Lucchese crime family in the East New York section of Brooklyn at the age of eleven. Fully indoctrinated into all aspects of gangster life, Henry was involved in virtually every type of racket and criminal activity that the family ran. To avoid prison, he disappeared into the Federal Witness Protection Program, which relocated him and his family in various out-of-the-way places numerous times over the ensuing years.
