Ina Garten again delivers a great cookbook!,

This review is from: Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: Fabulous Flavor from Simple Ingredients (Hardcover)
I am a bit of a cookbook junkie. I have all six of Ina Garten's cookbooks and use them all the time. Every single recipe of the many I tried so far have worked fabulously - unlike a lot of other cookbooks where it is a "hit and miss" effort. I especially like how she boils each recipe down to the essence and explains everything in detail. I have no hesitation in highly recommending all of her cookbooksBarefoot Contessa at Home: Everyday Recipes You'll Make Over and Over AgainThe Barefoot Contessa CookbookBarefoot Contessa Family Style: Easy Ideas and Recipes That Make Everyone Feel Like FamilyBarefoot Contessa Parties!: Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really FunBarefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home. From this particular book, so far I tried her roasted potato leek soup - heavenly, white pizza with arugula - instant family classic, herb marinated loin of pork - great for parties and everyone's favorite, wild mushroom risotto - amazing depth of flavours, french apple tart - wonderful foolproof pastry for anyone (even baking beginners like myself), country french omelet - my husband's fave, homemade granola - flavourful snack to take to work. I am slowly working through all the recipes, knowing that if I follow the instructions, the results will be a notch above great. Thanks again, Ina.

Wonderful Food,

This review is from: Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: Fabulous Flavor from Simple Ingredients (Hardcover)
The Barefoot Contessa's back to Basics is full of great recipes. Everything I have made from the book has turned out to be good. Still working on trying more of the recipes. Unfortunately, some of the ingredients are impossible to to find. Other than that, it is a fun book.
