Amazon Kunde: Die allgemeinen Anpreisungen dieses Buches haben mich neugierig gemacht.
Leider handelt es sich um eine Aneinanderreihung von Rezepten, die ich als "Mampf" bezeichnen würde. Keine Linie, kein System. Schade

Grammy: Ina Garten writes books that are as good to look at SAR to cook from. The layout is pure pleasure - colourful highly organized easy to read and a photo for every recipe. And the recipes are really well researched and reproducible in the Home Kitchen.
Recipes I have tried and really liked are the
-applesauce cake with bourbon raisins and bourbon cream cheese frosting;
-skillet roasted chicken and potatoes
-baked cod with garlic and herb Ritz crackers -English Lemon Posset
-baked rigatoni and lamb Ragu
-Brussel sprout pizza carbonara
-chocolate dipped brown sugar shortbread. All have been worthy of repeat

Jill Nicely: A new cookbook from Ina Garten is always a reason to celebrate, but for her to take on comfort food at a time like this is simple perfection. Garten is the Barefoot Contessa, a part of Taylor Swift’s posse, and the woman who welcomed this year’s pandemic by making a cocktail big enough for a bachelorette party. And now she has a gift for all of us, recipes of comfort food, updated with new flavors and twists but still with her carefree elegance.

How could she know how badly we would need this cookbook in 2020?

She starts us off with cocktails, because of course she does. There is a Hot Spiced Apple Cider, Ultimate Bloody Marys, and Pomegranate Gimlets along with some nibbles to get the party started. You can try the Warm Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Fresh Crab Nachos, Cacio e Pepe Cheese Puffs, or Grilled Oysters with Lemon Dill Butter. And with all these great party recipes comes more of the ingredients you can use for a great party—tips for serving and decorating that will help put guests at ease and encourage conversation.

Then it’s on to lunch. Whether it’s a soup like the Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Baked Fish Chowder, or Maine Lobster Stew or a...

shirley denise: Any cookbook by Ina is going to be well-made and good-looking. It is important to remember that this edition concentrates on comfort food as the title indicates. As such, I was not expecting new recipes as it would have been a contradiction in terms.
The recipes are old favourites with a twist. It is up to each and everyone to decide wether these updates are worth the expense. I know I will be trying some of the recipes in this book as I like to tweak and improve any food that I cook on a regular basis.
It may seem light weight to some, but there you are!

DeeDiDee: I own all of the Barefoot Contessa's cookbooks, and there is something positive to said for them all. Each one delivers a unique perspective of the author on a particular culinary theme. The title of this book is Modern Comfort Food; therefore I am puzzled by a number of reviews which see fit to complain about the recipes being about *checks notes* comfort food. If you are not a fan of comfort food or don't need recipes for comfort food, then you don't have to purchase this book.

Miriam-Webster Dictionary defines comfort food as being prepared in a traditional style with nostalgic or sentimental appeal. Think burgers, pasta, soups and stews, breakfast food, and dessert. There will be bacon and cheese. Again, it's comfort food, people, and in today's world, we need it.

The recipes are divided into the following chapters: cocktails, lunch, dinner, vegetables and sides; dessert; and breakfast. Despite the emphasis on traditional comfort food, Ina Garten is still here to elevate cooking and inspire home chefs everywhere. There are delights sprinkled throughout these chapters. Think fresh crab nachos, English lemon posset, truffled mac and cheese, and roasted shishito...
