Professional Review:
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.

   Summary: Great book! Great recipes!
I was very pleased with this cookbook. Many of Ina's recipes are not the kind of things I would make very often, but this book is different. It's still full of fancy recipes but they are simpler and more everyday in nature. Ina scores again!

   Summary: Disappointed in California
If I had received this product or had any idea when I might receive it I could tell you about it. I ordered numerous items at the same time and have received and been happy with all, but do date I have no idea where this book is. This company does not seem that reliable to me.

 Rating 5   Written on December 23, 2007
   Summary: Excellent! Love it!
Easy recipes. Large print/easy to read. Very enjoyable. I recommend highly. Helpful tips also.

 Rating 4   Written on December 18, 2007
   Summary: Courses
I have three of her cookbooks, they are my mainstays probably because they don't require special ingredients. When company is coming I pull them out. The recipes in this volume are less festive and a tad more complicated than I expected. High calorie content as usual due to all the butter and cream but for special occasions, always get the applause.

   Summary: Good book, but not for the novice
If you're expecting an "everyday" cookbook, this is not the book for you. If you haven't watched Ina Garten's cooking show, you would not know her definition of "everyday" is more along the lines of "everyday gourmet" - or that she used to be a caterer, and so some of her recipes as a body of work are more in line with a fancy dinner party than anything else. I tend to look at this cookbook as my "fancy but simple" dinner/dessert book, rather than something that I would use on a daily basis. For that, I've the Women's Day Cookbook or How to Cook Everything. Also, Ms. Garten's definition of simple still assumes a level of pantry stock and/or shopping that might not be available in a non-urban area - a fault I find with a number of Food Network hosts' cookbooks. Furthermore, if you just started cooking, this may not be the book for you, as you might burn some dishes, as she does not point out that in the roast capon recipe, adjusting the temperature of the oven after twenty minutes might be a good idea. That said, the recipes are yummy, easy to follow, but I wouldn't count on this as an "everyday" sort of cookbook. Maybe "everyday I entertain".
