Amazon Customer: Our favourite go to cook book series. Even the design of the books make them easy to use. The books stay open on the page you turn to & you don’t have to break the spine of the boo to do so. Respect of the book & the home chef who uses it.

Cliente de Amazon: This is a really good book. All the recipes seem simple enough to prepare at home and the instructions are really explicit. The photography in the book is amazing, already made the crab cakes and they came out perfect. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for somewhat classic dishes with a little extra refinement. If your are looking for showstoppers I would recommend you try another one of Ina Garten’s books, this is really more of a compilation of dishes you would find at a European or American deli. In terms of buyer experience, the book arrived really quickly and in perfect condition.

Henrietta: I have a number of I.G.'s books and love them and I find the recipes work well (unless I make a mistake!). I've ordered this one after close inspection of it at a friend's house.
The "translation" of meaurements isn't a problem - I bought a set of plastic Tala measuring cups based on an 8 ounce (240g) cup from my local "pound" shop for under £4. They weren't labelled as American but the sizes marked on the handles were correct. When a "stick" or half a stick of butter is asked for I weigh it (a "stick" of butter weighs 1/4lb (4 ounces or 113 grams). Perhaps it's younger cooks who get in a tizzy over this as they have never cooked in pounds and ounces. The knack is to remember that American measuring cups are imperial not metric and standard British measuring cups are metric not imperial and so to forget what you learned at school when cooking "yank" style.
A lot has been said on reviews about her excessive use of salt which I agreed with until an American friend put me straight. Apparently "kosher salt", which I.G. uses extensively, is not as "salty" as the table salt available here and doesn't contain additives such as iodine. Because kosher grains occupy more...

B. Marold: This first cookbook by Ina Garten, the founder and once owner of the Long Island catering and upscale deli, `barefoot contessa' is a delightful cross between the high end Martha Stewart `Entertaining' and the very local and very Southern `The Lady and Sons' by Paula Deen. By delightful coincidence, all three have shows on the food network. This book shines by being more accessible than Martha Stewart's work for large scale entertaining and by being more selective in its recipes than Paula Deen's books. Deen and Stewart's works both have their virtues, but Garten shines in making the best of its particular strengths.
Both Stewart and Garten claim Julia Child as a culinary godmother, and both do us a service by making Child's style of food easier to make for the non-foodie.
The greatest value of Garten's selection of dishes and her recipes for same are that they were all prepared at `the barefoot contessa', so there is no question that the recipes work. This claim is boldly made on the dust jacket. I will add the opinion that since the dishes were a staple of Garten's store and catering business, they were popular with a fairly discriminating clientele. Having seen pictures on...
