Synopsis
The iconic singer shares over 80 beloved Italian recipes from four generations of Avalons in America., Entertainment legend Frankie Avalon has cooked his way from his mother's kitchen in South Philadelphia to Hollywood and Las Vegas. Here in his first cookbook are pitch-perfect recipes for such Italian classics as Tomato-Ricotta Lasagna and Three-Meat Sunday Gravy with Pasta, as well as unexpected treasures like Roast Pork with Fig Sauce and Pork Milanese on Kale Salad. Frankie Avalon's Italian Family Cookbook is first and foremost a collection of over 80 of his favorite dishes, ones that Frankie and his wife Kay regularly serve to their eight children and ten grandchildren. Weeknight meals, Sunday suppers, and holiday feasts are all covered with must-have recipes--each one taste-tested by Avalons of all ages. And Frankie is a great storyteller, so delicious tales of more than five decades in show business pop up like meatballs in marinara sauce. Novice and experienced cooks will find a lot to love between these pages--dozens of heirloom recipes, mouthwatering food photographs, plus candid shots of Frankie at home in Southern California with his family and some of his favorite food places and pals in the old neighborhood in Philly, tips on Italian ingredients, advice on cooking for a crowd, and more. Frankie's latest ventures include his food company, which specializes in prepared Italian food products, like rice balls and sausages, based on his heritage (his father was a butcher) and currently available on QVC.

      Love Frankie Avalon...the book not so much.

      It's a nice book, but the recipes are almost impossible to make unless you live near an Italian grocery store because of the ingredients needed to make most of the dishes. I live in a rural area and have no access to buy what is called for. Would not buy this book again.

      Frankie Avalons cookbook

      The book I received was listed as hard cover. It arrived not only in soft cover , but completely black and white inside. No color photos at all. Plus the book stated not for resale. I asked for a partial refund and was refused. Will never do business with them again.

    • Practical Tasty Italian Meals

      This is one of my best cookbooks. The recipes are awesome, practical and well explained with great pictures. The book itself is a high quality product. You can't go wrong if you like home cooked Italian food.
