For America's bestselling cookbook author Ina Garten there is no
greater pleasure than cooking for the people she loves--and particularly
for her husband, Jeffrey. She has been cooking for him ever since they
were married forty-eight years ago, and the comforting, delicious meals
they shared became the basis for her extraordinary career in food.
Ina's most personal cookbook yet, Cooking for Jeffrey is filled with
the recipes Jeffrey and their friends request most often as well as
charming stories from Ina and Jeffrey's many years together. There are
traditional dishes that she's updated, such as Brisket with Onions and
Leeks, and Tsimmes, a vegetable stew with carrots, butternut squash,
sweet potatoes, and prunes, and new favorites, like Skillet-Roasted
Lemon Chicken and Roasted Salmon Tacos. You'll also find wonderful new
salads, including Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad and Kale Salad with
Pancetta and Pecorino. Desserts range from simple Apple Pie Bars to
showstoppers like Vanilla Rum Panna Cotta with Salted Caramel. For the
first time, Ina has included a chapter devoted to bread and cheese, with
recipes and tips for creating the perfect cheese course. With options
like Fig and Goat Cheese Bruschettas and Challah with Saffron, there's
something everyone will enjoy.
From satisfying lunches to elegant dinners, here are the recipes Ina has
tested over and over again, so you too can serve them with confidence to
the people you love.
