Description:

Click here for images from the book, an excerpt from the introduction, and two of Ina's delicious recipes.

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'm a big Ina Garten fan, love all of her recipes, and have most of her cookbooks. Although I do like this book very much, I felt that the recipes in the book are very similar to ones that she's already covered in her previous works, such as: roast chicken, leg of lamb, and some other dishes. I'm not discouraging anyone from purchasing the book at all, but found it somewhat redundant.

I own all of her cookbooks and have been pleased with them, however this new one was a big disappointment. It was full of recipes that she had already done in her other books, plus many of the new ones were full of specialty ingredients that she buys from her friends shops in her area. I found the tips that she had sprinkled throughout the book to be too elemental and general. This book definitely was not up to her standards. It was almost as if someone else wrote this book for her. I took my copy back to the store for a refund! I was so disappointed. Don't waste your money.

Agree with previous reviewers. Use her other cookbooks all the time. This book uninspiring.

I have found redundancies in some of her other books as well. Would love to see a compilation of all instead of trying to figure out which recipes are new and which are repeats.

This book is a big disappointment. I guess it's ok if it's the only Ina book you own but for fans of her other books, it seems as if she just collected some old recipes, put a new title on the front and shoved it out the door. A big letdown.
