highly recommended

Throughout the years that she has lived and worked in East Hampton, Ina Garten has catered and attended countless parties and dinners. She will be the first to tell you, though, that nothing beats a cozy dinner, surrounded by the people you love most, in the comfort that only your own home can provide. In Barefoot Contessa at Home, Ina shares her life in East Hampton, the recipes she loves, and her secrets to making guests feel welcome and comfortable.

For Ina, it?s friends and family?gathered around the dinner table or cooking with her in the kitchen?that really make her house feel like home. Here Ina offers the tried-and-true recipes that she makes over and over again because they?re easy, they work, and they?re universally loved. For a leisurely Sunday breakfast, she has Easy Cheese Danishes or Breakfast Fruit Crunch to serve with the perfect Spicy Bloody Mary. For lunch, she has classics with a twist, such as Tomato, Mozzarella, and Pesto Paninis and Old-Fashioned Potato Salad, which are simply delicious. Then there are Ina?s homey dinners?from her own version of loin of pork stuffed with sautéed fennel to the exotic flavors of Eli?s Asian Salmon. And since Ina knows no one ever forgets what you serve for dessert, she includes recipes for outrageously luscious sweets like Peach and Blueberry Crumble, Pumpkin Mousse Parfait, and Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing.

Ina also lets readers in on her time-tested secrets for cooking and entertaining. Get the inside scoop on everything from what Ina considers when she?s designing a kitchen to menu-planning basics and how to make a dinner party fun (here?s a hint: it doesn?t involve making complicated food!).

Along with beautiful photographs of Ina?s dishes, her home, and the East Hampton she loves, this book is filled with signature recipes that strike the perfect balance between elegance and casual comfort. With her most indispensable collection yet, Ina Garten proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there truly is no place like home.

Barefoot Contessa at Home

Loved watching the television series, purchased this book and the title says it all "Recipes you'll make over and over again" so true I have made savory and sweet things from this book without any problems, easy to follow recipes and they taste just wonderful. Highly recommend this book for a gift as well.

Very nice cookbook!

It's my first Ina's cookbook and I like it very much. Nice pictures and great but not difficult recipes!

Gotta love Ina...makes you feel right at home.

Outrageously and deliciously seductive color photos on each page!
Recipes everyone loves, often with a little twist that just makes this comfort food even better, like the cole slaw that adds my favorite blue cheese, or roasted red potatoes with onions that come out of the oven looking just like the picture, or the lemon pound cake to die for. Each recipe is simple to follow, with fabulous results. And, the ingredients are things even my family eats.
I ordered the book based on an on-line video clip of Nancy Soriano, editor of Country Living Magazine [...] who described the fabulous chocolate cake recipe she made for guests... from 'at home'. And, yes, it is fabulous. The frosting WOW!
Paging through this book is a treat, just like the chicken salad and the cupcakes. The written text is exactly like listening to Ina on her show, same effortless style, smooth, relaxed and welcoming; as if she is at her Hamptons' door greeting you, baking a chicken and sharing her comforting space ~~ which she endearingly describes as: "Home is anywhere Jeffrey is".
Nowadays, recipes can be found in just about any magazine, and all over the internet. But, the 'feel' of being 'at home' and the confidence to make a memorable family meal comes only from this chef I try to emulate...

i officially love to cook!

because of this book i love to cook. i've seen her shows in passing on tv and changed the channel, never thought much of them. after trying many of these recipes, i can't get enough. the compliments are endless when ever i make anything from this book. if you don't consider yourself a cook, consider this book. it will change your mind. the recipes all have easy to find ingredients, are easy to make and they are truly recipes you will make again and again. i should warn in advance that if you make the peanutbutter frosted chocolate cupcakes people will devour them before you have a chance to blink:).
