5.0 out of 5 stars Ina Garten again delivers a great cookbook!, Jan 6 2009
By Iveta (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ina's Cookbook is Amazing!, May 8 2009
By Beverly Post-schmeler "Writerscramp" (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watch the Barefoot Contessa every weekend when I'm home. The cookbook is like listening to her speak. She explains everything in easy to understand terms. When i watch her show I wonder if the book wasn't taken from the actual episodes because I could swear she said that exact same thing last weekend, I thought when reading a recipe.
The recipes have wonderful pictures to accompany the ingredients and instructions. It is back to basics for anyone who wants to cook and present really nice meals without spending hours in the kitchen doing so. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Recipes, Feb 4 2009
This is my 3rd Barefoot Contessa book. They're all wonderful. Ina uses readily available ingredients for the most part. Some how the combinations and quantities she chooses make regular ingredients spectacular. The Italian Wedding soup is great! At first it looks like tonnes of spinach, but once it's wilted it's the right amount. The parmesan-thyme crackers are yummy. I'm working my way through the recipes. The only one I haven't been thrilled with is the roasted potato-leek soup. Too much effort for okay results. I don't mind more effort if the end result is worth it.
