Summary: Easy, Classy Comfort Food
Comment: I don't normally write in to review books, particulary cook books, but this one is an exception. I am an avid gourmet cook and I'm always looking for new cookbooks. However, I hate investing in them because I usually only end up making one or two recipes out of each book and it feels like a waste of money. Within two weeks of getting the Barefoot Contessa book, I had made almost half of the recipes - to raving reviews from family and friends.
The recipes are easy and fabulous and they can easily be served for a low-key family dinner or a special dinner with company. While they could be considered gourmet, none of the recipes call for exotic ingredients which means everything is already in your pantry or readily available at the grocery store. What I particularly like is that Ina offers menu suggestions in the back of the book so all of the planning is already done for you.
Most importantly, this book is family friendly. There is a section devoted to children's food including favorites like Mac and Cheese and Chicken Fingers. However, my girlfriend's 2-year old couldn't get enough of the Shrimp Scampi (one of the "adult" recipes) and that was enough to get her to buy the book too.
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for easy, delicious recipes for all kinds of occassions.

Summary: Gourmet taste that easy to prepare
Comment: I love her books. Her recipes are easy to make, and they taste wonderfully. Her style is casual, and laid back, unlike Martha Stewart's style. She takes ingredients you have on hand, or that are easy to find and makes them a bit more special. One of my favorites was her Roasted Parmesan Asparagus, its a great way to utilize one of the summer's special vegetables.
This book is beautifully illustrated with pictures of the food, and the recipes are very clear and easy to read. She offers a variety of foods in terms of appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, and desserts. The book deals with food to make your life easier, not food that you are going to spend hours in the kitchen with.
If you are a gourmet, cook, or even if you are someone that wants their food to taste gourmet, I would suggest this book is worth a look.

Summary: Ina is the best!
Comment: I love all the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks (and I have them all!) I think I like the Family Style one the best and have made the most recipes from it. I can honestly say that I usually use one or two recipes from a cookbook (and I have many), but I've used at least a dozen recipes from this book. My favorite was linguine with shrimp scampi. Her recipes just make sense. I have never had one NOT turn out. I would recommend this book (and both the others as well) to anyone. I can't WAIT until her French cookbook comes out in November.
