Great book. She write very easy recipes, mostly all ingredients we have in our pantries. After watching her show for years I decided to get a few of her books. So glad I did ! 🙂

Ina Garten is a wonderful cook and cookbook author. Her recipes are simple, yet elegant, and most are quite easy to prepare and don't require a lot of ingredients. She covers the range from appetizers to desserts, and offers menu suggestions to help when you're in a rut. I own several of Garten's cookbooks and enjoy them all. She has an easy style and casual way of communication that makes anyone feel like they are capable of recreating the dishes in her books. Garten is passionate about her ingredients, and offers tips on various brands she feels are the best, to help your finished dish turn out as best as it can. This book is filled with beautiful photographs, which add to its appeal. Most of us want to see what the recipe we'll be preparing will look like when it's done. I highly recommend this book for anyone from the novice to experienced cook.Read full review

I got familiar with the author through watching her cooking show on food TV. Her elegant style just immediately caught my attention. This book itself is like a piece of art. I enjoyed just flipping through it. Each recipe has a beautiful picture on glossy paper, which is really helpful in understanding the food I'm making. I always like to see the picture before I try out the recipe, so I know what I will be making. :) The recipes are divided into the following sections: soup and sandwich salads dinner vegetables dessert breakfast I just tried one muffin recipe and it turned out to be absolutely delicious. It was the best muffin I've ever had. So much better than any store bought ones. Not only the recipes are simple, Ina also teaches some tricks on cooking and shopping. Great to have. This book is highly recommanded whether or not you enjoy the cooking. Happy Cooking! ElizabethRead full review
This is a great cookbook by Ina Garten and one, frankly, that is not seen often up for sale. I forgot she has written this book about the beginning recipes from the Barefoot Contessa when she owned it. I recommend this book for the simple but truly flavorful recipes she has. Loved the Lemon Fusilli and Roasted Homey Potatoes, two great. easy, fast dishes to make all year round. Loved this book and glad its in my cookbook collection.
