Others will forgo the humor for the appealing, homestyle recipes. The focus is on Brooklyn-Italian-American food, although a Chinese chicken salad and chef Paul Prudhomme's blackened redfish are offered along with stuffed calamari, mamma's marinara sauce and sausages with peppers and onions. Family and friends, including a number of celebrities, contribute their favorites. Fans can sample Burt Reynolds's beef stew, Loni Anderson's chicken with wild rice, Anne Bancroft's vegetarian chili or Mel Brooks's red clam chowder. Desserts run the gamut from the eponymous Dom's no-sugar baked apples to "death by chocolate" #1 and #2. The late and great Comedian DeLuise loved to cook and loves to eat; his exuberant cookbook is full of childhood reminiscences, inoffensive name-dropping, and some quite appealing recipes culled from his extended family and friends. The ingredients are fresh, the dishes are usually fairly simple to prepare, and the result is a chatty collection of Italian family fare. Not a necessary purchase, but there is likely to be some demand. This is a READING copy only, due to the looseness of the pages (which are all there). The AUTOGRAPH is in large writing inside front cover which is more than the cost of the book. Dom was very much loved by his many fans and will always be remembered for his goodness, and fantastic humor! Now the cookbook is a wonderful tribute to a man who loved to eat! Enjoy!!!
