The Godfather: The Corleone Family Cookbook

Very good cookbook! We are foodies and are of Italian ancestry. We tried the chicken cacciatore and it was really excellent, the best we have ever eaten! We are looking forward to trying other recipes from the book. Part 2 of my review..... since I wrote the initial review, we made the meatballs and they were great too! Very authentic Southern Italian. We also tried the Osso Buco recipe and it was excellent!

Actually bought this as a white elephant/gift exchange thing for an upcoming holiday lunch with my work peeps. But I flipped through it and it’s an awesome looking cookbook with a bunch of Godfather-flick-themed recipes that look really tasty! Lots of pics from the movies as well! If I end up getting it back, that won’t be a totally bad thing. Manga!

You will not be disappointed! All the recipes are wonderful. Did the chicken cacciatore and it was OH MY GOODNESS wonderfully easy and the best I ever had. I just love this book and it will be one of my keepers for passing down later too! It's a must have cookbook.

Revised - 09/07/2020 - After posting the negative review along with pictures, the seller contacted me offering a refund or replacement. I chose replacement. The undamaged/mint/pristine copy arrived yesterday! I am thankful and happy that the vendor and Amazon provided such excellent customer service. Please disregard the review below. Now that that fall is around the corner, I'm looking forward to making some of the recipes! :) Original review: I was very excited to look through the recipes when the book arrived. Like everyone else who ordered the book, I'm a huge fan of The Godfather films. I was looking forward to finally getting the full recipe to Clemenza's sauce. The cook book recipe would fill in the details. But as I examined the book, I noticed 1) upper damage (slight tear) on the upper left of the cover and 2) several torn bottom pages towards the end of the book. See attached pictures. Even though the damages are cosmetic, this is still UNACCEPTABLE. I paid full full price!! I must've received a damaged copy returned by another customer. Normally, I would make the trip to the Post Office to return the book. But given the current public health crisis, my trips are limited for essential needs. I'm not standing in line to risk my health. I don't know what else to say.

Wow!! Just received this!! We bought one for each of our sons for their birthdays and we are going to buy another one for us!! We love to cook Italian in our family!! This book is BEAUTIFUL filled with incredible dishes! The food photos look delicious ~ and being Godfather fans, the pics from the films are just an added bonus! I think this may be the go-to gift of the year for upcoming birthdays, and other celebrations!

Had to add this cookbook to my collection! The recipes are amazing and quite easy to follow. I wish I had more people to cook for!! Love Italian meals. yummmmmmmm

love it

Delicious! Every recipe is a winner!

This book is laughable! The recipes are on par with Betty Crocker, not authentic. The pictures are pretty but doubt they are of the actual dishes. This book is a marketing scheme riding the coat tails of the Godfather movie. RETURN!

I love the cook-book! My question is why can’t Amazon deliver all orders in one trip? I get visits from Amazon sometimes 2, 3, 4 times a day! What a waste of gas! Save all my orders and deliver them at one time! Not peacemeal!

A gift to my brother. He is a big fan of the Godfather movies. He loved it! He loves to cook and couldn't wait to use it. The book is sturdy and well organized. Arrived promptly. It is a great quality book. Worth what I paid for.

The pictures are wonderful and although the recipes contain foods i cannot consumer, it is interesting trying to substitute. i love Italian food so i gave it four start. A neat nostalgic kind of book reflecting the movie.

My husband and eldest son love, The Godfather" movies. I saw this cookbook and had to get it for them. They loved it. It has some stories in it and the recipes I've tried are fantastic. So, it served two purposes!

Got this for my Godfather loving SO. I was expecting a typical novelty cookbook but this has fantastic, authentic Sicilian and Italian American recipes that range from easy to make to one for advanced cooks.

This book is amazing, beautiful pictures of the finished product. I bought this for a gift. I going to buy myself one.

This is a great Italian cook book. All the recipes that I've tried are great. Enjoy the references to the Godfather movies.

I gave this as a gift, and I am so pleased that it has been used and enjoyed. Great recipes!

bought as a xmas gift for a friend,,,,,,,,,,she loves to cook and really enjoys trying out Italian recipes

Being of Italian heritage I fell in love with this book immediately. The recipes are foods I’m used To when cooking Italian — yummy, simple, enjoyed by everyone.

I am a cook book collector, this cook book is a great read and the recipes are all authentic

Very nice book as pictured. Beautiful pics. Arrived quickly. Great recipes.

Just got the book. The recipes look interesting. Will rate when I've tried 1 or 2.

If you loved the films, you'll love this cookbook! Not only has wonderful recipes, great photography but shares some of the author's insight into this classic American film that is as satisfying as a delicious Italian meal! Loved it!

Outstanding recipes, easy to read, food taste great

This cookbook is ok. Simple recipes. Nothing new

The recipes look good, but I don’t understand the connection to a fictional mob family other than nostalgia and marketing. Not even an association with a true mob family background! I would have given more stars if it weren’t for the fictional wrapping around this cookbook.

The cookbook was such a hit we ended up re-purchasing to gift to another. It has great little tidbits and photos as well as flavorful and concise recipes.

wow what a book great recipes

This is one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever had. First I love The Godfather series and I love to cook. The pictures in the book relate to the story and the recipes are easy to follow and so far not one has failed. In fact they are absolutely delicious.

Mother in law loved the bold . My son bought it for her for Christmas

I bought it for our daughter n law for Christmas. She loves to cook! And our Italian family is looking forward to tasting some of the delicious dishes that she will be making from it.

Everything we've made from this cookbook has been fabulous! The introductions to the recipes are wonderfully written and reminiscent of the awesome Godfather trilogy. I've given this as a gift to many family and friends!

I made the chicken cutlets out of this book and they were so good! Can’t wait to try more recipes!

Recipes are easy and delicious, love the stories that go with the recipes. Would recommend this to book to anyone who loves Italian cooking traditions

I loved all the recipes. And the story.

A lot of true recipes that my grandma use to cook.

Gave to my son who makes a mean Chicken Fetticune Alfredo. He really likes the book!

There are some nice recipes in this book.

I made the Clemenza’s Sauce and meatballs (cover picture). It was delicious, restaurant quality. The only changes I made was adding minced onion and a few spices to adjust flavor to my preference.

This was the best Christmas gift I ever got my dad! He loves it!

I love The Godfather movies And when I saw this I knew I had to have it. Plus I love cookbooks and will be making a lot of recepies from this one! It’s a keeper!

Love the pictures with the recipes. Let's u know what the finished product looks like. You eat with your eyes first.

Boring cookbook

I bought this for my son as a fun gift for Christmas because he is a big Godfather fan, but he absolutely loves the recipes.

The book is great. I bought it as a gift for someone but wanted to keep it. It’s a great blend of fantastic recipes, pictures and movie facts.

It's all about discovery! Great addition to the kitchen or coffee table.

I just love this book, going to make all the receipes.

easy to follow recipes
