Professional Review:
Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics is the essential Ina Garten cookbook, focusing on the techniques behind her elegant food and easy entertaining style, and offering nearly a hundred brand-new recipes that will become trusted favorites.

Ina Garten’s bestselling cookbooks have con-sistently provided accessible, subtly sophisticated recipes ranging from French classics made easy to delicious, simple home cooking. In Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics, Ina truly breaks down her ideas on flavor, examining the ingredients and techniques that are the foundation of her easy, refined style.

Here Ina covers the essentials, from ten ways to boost the flavors of your ingredients to ten things not to serve at a party, as well as professional tips that make successful baking, cooking, and entertaining a breeze. The recipes—crowd-pleasers like Lobster Corn Chowder, Tuscan Lemon Chicken, and Easy Sticky Buns—demonstrate Ina’s talent for transforming fresh, easy-to-find ingredients into elegant meals you can make without stress.

For longtime fans, Ina delivers new insights into her simple techniques; for newcomers she provides a thorough master class on the basics of Barefoot Contessa cooking plus a Q&A section with answers to the questions people ask her all the time. With full-color photographs and invaluable cooking tips, Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics is an essential addition to the cherished library of Barefoot Contessa cookbooks.

   Summary: Awesome!
I have all of Ina Garten's cookbooks and all of them are superb! This one is no exception. Ina has a way of writing that seems like your reading a book with recipes. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes are very easy to follow. Buy any of her cookbooks and I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

   Summary: Wonderful!
Everything I have ever made from all the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks have been outstanding, including "Back to Basics". All recipes are perfect for company or for a quiet dinner at home. They are well tested and are delicious. This would be a great holiday gift for anyone who loves to cook (and eat!).

   Summary: Diva does it again!
Outstanding recipes....tried the tuscan chicken...instead of grilling, I baked and served with rosemary, lemon zest and parm polenta. Great dinner!

   Summary: Back to Basics, Indeed!
Like most folks, I was introduced to Ms. Garten via her Barefoot Contessa teevee show on the Food Network. As I was collecting (and still do) French influenced cookbooks, I purchased Barefoot in Paris (along with the companion travel journey), and fell further in love with her. Ms. Garten's latest offers a collection of savory recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with the cocktail hour and sections on soups, vegetables and desserts. Each chapter is prefaced with tips like flavor enhancers and serving suggestions. A section is dedicated to frequently asked questions and with instructions that are easy to follow, the recipes are not so high-brow as to be unattainable. Coq au vin, Chive and risotto cakes, Lemon Tuscan chicken (the first thing I'm preparing), orange pecan rice...yum, and the photographs are absolutely scrumptious. Ms. Garten shares menu ideas and resources, and takes the stress out of preparing, what looks like elaborate courses, with the basic of ingredients. I can do this!
