APRIL 28, 2010


Authors on this morning's Today show:

  • Teresa Giudice, one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, whose Skinny Italian: Eat It and Enjoy It Live La Bella Vita and Look Great, Too! (Hyperion, 978-1401310356, $19.99) pubs next week. PW wrote "Take away the overblown catch phrases and effusive references to her mama, The Sopranos, and the motherland, and you're left with a solid mid-week Italian cookbook. Then again, perhaps it's the chatty Teresa and her feisty yet playful anecdotes that make this an irresistible, guilty pleasure."
