Product Description
Ina Garten, who shared her gift for casual entertaining in the bestselling Barefoot Contessa Cookbook and Barefoot Contessa Parties!, is back with her most enticing recipes yet a collection of her favorite dishes for everyday cooking. In Barefoot Contessa Family Style, Ina explains that sharing our lives and tables with those we love is too essential to be saved just for special occasions and it s easy to do if you know how to cook irresistible meals with a minimum of fuss.
For Ina, the best way to make guests feel at home is to serve them food that s as unpretentious as it is delicious. So in her new book, she s collected the recipes that please her friends and family most dishes like East Hampton Clam Chowder, Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, and Linguine with Shrimp Scampi. It s the kind of fresh, accessible food that s meant to be passed around the table in big bowls or platters and enjoyed with warm conversation and laughter.
In Ina s hands tried-and-true dishes are even more delicious than you remember them: Her arugula salad is bright with the flavors of lemon and Parmesan, the Oven-Fried Chicken is crispy without excess fat, and her Deep-Dish Apple Pie has the perfect balance of fruit and spice. Barefoot Contessa Family Style also includes enticing recipes that are memorable and distinctive, like Lobster Cobb Salad, Tequila Lime Chicken, and Saffron Risotto with Butternut Squash.
With vivid photographs of Ina cooking and serving food in her beautiful Hamptons home, as well as menu suggestions, practical wisdom on what to do when disaster strikes in the kitchen, and tips on creating an inviting ambience with music, Barefoot Contessa Family Style is the must-have guide to the joy of everyday entertaining.

Ina Garten is the best thing to happen to cooking since fire was invented.
Family Style delivers just what it says on the cover - easy ideas and recipes that make everyone feel like family - even the cook can relax in Ina's confident and stress free company.
Ina's informal and friendly style is relayed throughout the book, from her introduction which welcomes everyone to feel like family, to planning the meal and making a schedule - really important and often ignored by other recipe writers.
The variety within each category allows for hot or cold food, many of which can be prepared in advance. Well illustrated with photos adjoining each recipe, the end result is clear to see.
Conversion tables can be found for quantities in another of her books but for the dedicated cook it's a reason to buy American measures spoons, cups etc.
At the back of the book are menus for all occasions and two short lists of ingredients and cookware that are pretty much essential in a modern kitchen.
This is my fourth Ina Garten cookbook and certainly not my last.
Cooking with Ina is relaxed but stylish, using simple contemporary ingredients to achieve memorable dishes with the minimum of fuss.
Having cooked for twenty friends last Saturday, her recipes are tried, tested and trusted to provide hearty, well flavoured and attractive dishes, that leave everyone feeling that being part of my family is truly a pleasure - a sentiment that I owe a great deal to Ina.

Barefoot Contessa - family style
Some very good recipes although you have to 'translate' some of the ingredients as this is an American cook. Once you have worked out what they are the recipes do work very well.
