Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Ma Ziti's stuffed shells

    • rhb on October 28, 2022

      Bake, covered, for first 35 minutes.

  • Chicken (easy does it) sauce

    • rhb on October 28, 2022

      I used boneless & skinless chicken thighs and dried basil.

  • Mamma's eggplant sauce

    • rhb on October 28, 2022

      I may have left out the tomato paste.

  • Sausages with peppers and onions

    • rhb on October 28, 2022

      Great recipe. We brown the sausages over med-high until browned and then remove from pan before cooking the rest of the ingredients. Add sausages at the end...otherwise, we've found that the sausages dry out inside from too long of cooking.

  • Dom's mom's meatballs

    • ChinaTowne on December 16, 2025

      The ONLY meatball recipe I use! Be sure not to pack the meatballs tightly - leave the meat mixture loose when you form the meatballs.

  • Stuffed calamari

    • Tinala523 on August 07, 2023

      Made as part of our annual Sharkfeast! They were delicious, Nicky loved them, as did I. Note: buy bigger calamari, the little ones are hard to stuff!

Publishers Text

Those finding a kindred spirit in the ebullient actor and comedian will hear his cheerful voice bubble off the page, giggling as he calls himself "the fastest yolk in the West." 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.
