Product Description
Product Description
Ina Garten, bestselling cookbook author and beloved star of Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, is back with her easiest recipes ever.
In Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That? Ina proves once again that it doesn’t take complicated techniques, special equipment, or stops at more than one grocery store to make wonderful dishes for your family and friends. Her newest must-have cookbook is all about saving time and avoiding stress while having fun in the kitchen.
These are not recipes with three ingredients thrown together in five minutes; instead home cooks will find fantastic Barefoot Contessa recipes that are easy to make but still have all that deep, delicious flavor Ina is known for—and that makes a meal so satisfying. Think Pink Grapefruit Margaritas served with Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs—two classics with a twist. For lunch, Ina makes everyone’s favorite Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich and Snap Peas with Pancetta. For dinner, try Jeffrey’s Roast Chicken (tried and true!); Steakhouse Steaks, which come out perfectly every time and—with Ina’s easy tip—couldn’t be simpler; or an Easy Parmesan “Risotto” that you throw in the oven instead of stirring endlessly on the stovetop. Finally, Ina’s desserts never disappoint—from Red Velvet Cupcakes to Chocolate Pudding Cream Tart.
To top it all off, Ina also shares her best tips for making cooking really easy. She leaves bowls of lemons and limes on the counter not only because they look great but because they also remind her that a squeeze of lemon in a dish brightens the flavors. She shows us the equipment that makes a difference to her—like sharp knives, the right zester, an extra bowl for her electric mixer—and that can help you in your kitchen, too.
Filled with 225 gorgeous full-color photographs, Barefoot Contessa How Easy is That? is the perfect kitchen companion for busy home cooks who still want fabulous flavor.

I love Ina Garten, I have all her books and refer to them often. When I visited the USA on holiday recently, I managed to find the "kosher salt" that she refers to in many of her recipes. It does have a less salty tast than our UK regular table salt, and I do not have a problem which an over-salty taste when I use it in the recipes.
A lovely book Ina, once again.
A lovely book Ina, once again.
Format:Hardcover
I love Ina's "Barefoot Contessa" cooking programmes and find her recipes very interesting and accessible. I also own her "Back to Basics" book which I have used numerous times. I bought this book sight unseen and was disappointed by the recipes. There were very few things I felt inspired to make and several of the recipes contained ingredients that are not easy to find here in the UK. Fontina cheese is an example, I've looked for it without success. I expected more from this book as she stresses in the introduction how easy all the recipes are with ingredients that can be found in any supermarket. Not exactly the case in my opinion.
Format:Hardcover
The book was sold as "Used" but it was in pristine condition. So although the price was about the same as "New" so was the condition!

Too much salt, too much fat
I'd have to agree with Maikemm, the recipes in this book are loaded with salt and bad fats - or perhaps Ina's cooking is meant to be eaten only once in a while? Read more

What's with all the salt???
I love Ina Garten's 'Barefoot Contessa' TV show - with the exception of her obsession with salt. I was hoping this book would 'grow up' about some of Ina's ingredients, especially... Read more
