Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, Teresa Giudice, met with fans and signed copies of her latest cookbook, “Fabulicious!”, at Alene Too on Thursday.

The popular Jersey girl stopped in Boca Raton to promote the follow-up to herNew York Times bestseller “Skinny Italian”.

Dozens of eager fans lined up outside of the Regency Court boutique for the opportunity to meet the reality-TV personality.

The store was filled with tasty treats to celebrate the occasion. Fans were offered refreshments, candy and party favors.

Alene Too co-owner Debbie Weisman was braced for the huge community response.

“We have been doing [these events] and I think is the one that has taken off the most,” Weisman said. “We just thought this would be a great fit for Boca.”

Giudice arrived through the backdoor of the store just prior to 5 p.m. The fashionable author, and mother of four, took a few moments to speak withBoca Raton magazine.

BRM: Tell us about your new cookbook, “Fabulicious!”.

GIUDICE: This is a family cookbook. It has quick recipes, it has skinny recipes. It has recipes for the whole family. It has kid-friendly recipes and of course, because we all love a happy ending, great desserts.

BRM: Your daughters helped with a few recipes, correct?

GIUDICE: There is one section just on my daughters. It talks about how I turned my kitchen into a classroom.

BRM: What is your favorite “Fabulicious!” recipe?

GIUDICE: My favorite recipe is stuffed eggplant. I have to say, there are a lot of great recipes in there, including devil’s shrimp over angel hair pasta. There are a lot of things I like, but if I have to pick just one…I’d say it’s between those two.

BRM: There are two episodes left to air of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Season 3”. Can you give us any teasers?

GIUDICE: I sit down with my brother. I meet with my brother and I meet with Melinda, his wife.

On June 7, Bravo announced there would be a fourth season the New Jersey “Housewives”. Giudice said filming of the new season had already begun.
