Book Reviews of Barefoot Contessa at Home: Everyday Recipes You'll Make Over and Over Again
Book Review: i officially love to cook!
Summary: 5 Stars
because of this book i love to cook. i've seen her shows in passing on tv and changed the channel, never thought much of them. after trying many of these recipes, i can't get enough. the compliments are endless when ever i make anything from this book. if you don't consider yourself a cook, consider this book. it will change your mind. the recipes all have easy to find ingredients, are easy to make and they are truly recipes you will make again and again. i should warn in advance that if you make the peanutbutter frosted chocolate cupcakes people will devour them before you have a chance to blink:).Book Review: Gotta love Ina...makes you feel right at home.
Summary: 5 Stars
Outrageously and deliciously seductive color photos on each page!
Recipes everyone loves, often with a little twist that just makes this comfort food even better, like the cole slaw that adds my favorite blue cheese, or roasted red potatoes with onions that come out of the oven looking just like the picture, or the lemon pound cake to die for. Each recipe is simple to follow, with fabulous results. And, the ingredients are things even my family eats.
I ordered the book based on an on-line video clip of Nancy Soriano, editor of Country Living Magazine [...] who described the fabulous chocolate cake recipe she made for guests... from 'at home'. And, yes, it is fabulous. The frosting WOW!
Paging through this book is a treat, just like the chicken salad and the cupcakes. The written text is exactly like listening to Ina on her show, same effortless style, smooth, relaxed and welcoming; as if she is at her Hamptons' door greeting you, baking a chicken and sharing her comforting space ~~ which she endearingly describes as: "Home is anywhere Jeffrey is".
Nowadays, recipes can be found in just about any magazine, and all over the internet. But, the 'feel' of being 'at home' and the confidence to make a memorable family meal comes only from this chef I try to emulate...
Book Review: Very nice cookbook!
