There are cookbooks based on food featured in A Song of Ice and Fire as well as the Aubrey/Maturin cycle, both of which spend an obsessive numbers of pages describing bizarre and outdated feasts. Spotted Dick for the Captain’s table please! ---

I just looked it up and there’s an official [Sopranos cook book](https://www.amazon.com/Sopranos-Family-Cookbook-Compiled-Artie/dp/0446530573/) which is written in- character by Artie Bucco, which makes complete sense. He was a professional chef who owned a restaurant and numerous times in the show is shown making unique and special meals for the main characters. Bizarrely enough that first book was such a success they made a second official [Sopranos cookbook](https://www.amazon.com/Entertaining-Sopranos-Carmela-Soprano/dp/0446579114/) except this time written in- character by Carmela Soprano, who I think technically made food during the series? But that’s a steep drop-off from the actual Chef character. At this point if they made a third official Sopranos cookbook it would probably be written by Janice Soprano. ---

I was coming in to post this. Someone gave my mom a copy of this cookbook as she liked the book series. I didn’t read too many of the books but I seem to remember either Scarpetta or her boyfriend did a lot of cooking in the books? ---

> [@Dr.Girlfriend](#): > > Scarpetta or her boyfriend did a lot of cooking in the books? I read one of the more recent Scarpetta novels and the author spent way too many pages describing food and architecture. ---

I have the Bob Ross Cookbook, with a recipe for “Happy Little Tree and Cheddar Soup.” 🙂 I also have Roald Dahl’s Revolting Recipes, which has the weirdest and most disgusting recipes. My favorite, the Sesame Street Cookbook, isn’t quite as weird, but it does have awesome cartoons of the residents of Sesame Street, including Grover and Cookie Monster, so IMHO it’s the best cookbook ever. ---

I think the earlier version had a better title. Too bad I didn’t decide to keep my copy.
