#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Millions of people love Ina Garten because she writes recipes that make home cooks look great; family and friends shower them with praise and yet the dishes couldn't be simpler to prepare using ingredients found in any grocery store. In Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, the Food Network star takes easy a step further, sharing her secrets for pulling off deeply satisfying meals that have that "wow!" factor we all crave.

Start with delicious Dukes Cosmopolitans made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus Jalapeno Cheddar Crackers that everyone will devour. Lunches include Hot Smoked Salmon, Lobster & Potato Salad, and Easy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons, all featuring old-fashioned flavors with the volume turned up. Elegant Slow-Roasted Filet of Beef with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise and show-stopping Seared Scallops & Potato Celery Root Puree are just two of the many fabulous dinner recipes. And your guests will always remember the desserts, from Sticky Toffee Date Cake with Bourbon Glaze to Salted Caramel Brownies.

For Ina, "foolproof" means more than just making one dish successfully; it's also about planning a menu, including coordinating everything so it all gets to the table at the same time. In Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, Ina shows you how to make a game plan so everything is served hot while you keep your cool. There are notes throughout detailing where a recipe can go wrong to keep you on track, plus tips for making recipes in advance. It's as though Ina is there in the kitchen with you guiding you every step of the way.

With 150 gorgeous color photographs and Ina's invaluable tips, Barefoot Contessa Foolproof is a stunning yet infinitely practical cookbook that home cooks will turn to again and again.

Love ina

I love Ina and her cookbooks! I bought this as a secondhand buy, was advertised as being ‘Used - Very Good’ but upon receiving it I would of said more just ‘Used - Good’ there are quite a few marks through out the book and library stamps. Since this was bought for me I’m happy to live with it but think paying just over £10 (when it came with a £3.99 price sticker attached) could of been better value. 4 stars due to condition.

I'm a manic cook possessed of over 300 cookery books but I still buy IG's books. She sits well next to Elizabeth David on my shelves although she is a completely different cook and writer.

I'm a British cook and some American cookery books sold on the British market are un-necessarily complicated but in general, IG's books are easy to follow. Some ingredients are unusual and some are the same but have different names (eg coriander and cilantro) but, as Corporal Jones would say "Don't panic!" - you CAN cope!

Lovely pictures and recipes. If you follow her recipes to the letter they definitely work out good. Well presented book and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cooking. Nothing too complicated. Only one fault, it would be helpful if measurements were also in pounds/ounces and grams. What weight is a stick of butter or 1/16 of a cup? Having to look these things up is a bit of a bother and so easily remedied.

It's Ina at her best

This has been bought as a present for someone that watched Barefoot Contessa regularly on the TV, it has some great recipes and its laid out well.
It was a bit of a pantomine with the order as it got lost in the post before turning up the same day as the re-order but praise should be given to Amazon customer services who handled the delivery problems efficiently
