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.
