This is a cookbook purportedly found in the kitchen of the Lexington Hotel after Capone was sent to jail. Whether or not that is true, the Italian recipes are great and the photos of Al, his cronies' makes for an interesting book.
American gangster Alphonse Capone, known as Al and also called Scarface, ruthlessly ruled the underworld of Chicago; people from 1931 imprisoned him for tax evasion to 1939.
