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.

Ina's Banana Cake, et al

by Anna, PA  
November 16, 2010

Ina's culinary talent is outstanding and I can't wait to try all her recipes in this book. Tomorrow, I will bake the Banana Cake for our grandaugters which I'm sure they will love. The bananas need another day to ripen. I don't even have to guess how it will turn out. I know they will devour it, especially the cream cheese frosting. I have nothing but praise for Ina's ability to explain a recipe that seems complicated but in the end is worth the effort. I have made several of the recipes from her other books and the one my husband loves the best, so far, is the parkr's beef stew.

To be able to give these cookbooks to my daughters for Christmas with Ina's signature in them is just so very exciting. They are both wonderful cooks, and I believe they will be thrilled. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

As typical of Ina, her latest book is just what I have come to expect - a beautifully written and composed collection of delicious recipes and wonderful tips and suggestions. The recipes I have made so far came out perfect and delicious, and the way she writes, I feel like she is my personal friend giving me helpful hints and suggestions for techniques, kitchen utensils/equipment and entertaining. I highly recommend this book - you will be very happy.

I cook for my family everyday and I can go to my Ina cookbooks and find something for a special occasion or everyday meal. The recipes are written in a style that everyone can understand using ingredients that I usually have on hand. Have tried many of her recipes and have not had a flop. I especially like her Ultimate Brownies and the Vanilla Yogurt Lemon Cake and Roasted Tomato Basil Soup, they are awesome. Thanks INA

Wow, this was a great investment. I now have all 7 of her cook books and I love them all. But perfect timing on this one. It has the recipes in it that I am using for Thanksgiving! I love the Food Network and all of the people, but I have to say Barefoot is my favorite!

Wonderful book

by Mae, SC

Purchased this book as a gift for my daughter who has recently moved away from home. She loves Ina. I had to "check it out" before I give it to her. It is probably one of the best gift ideas I've had in a very long time. I love it and know she will too!!

I have all of Ina's cookbooks, and they are all a must. Her TV shows are wonderful, and I have found many of the recipes in her cookbooks. In spite of the online recipe age, I will continue to purchase every book that Ina Garten writes. How easy is that?
