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.

The pictures and instructions are easy to read and follow. I appreciate that there are some personal references included in the book. Ms. Garten's recipes are all very good and are all ones that the home cook can follow in order to present a healthy and attractive meal to the family.

Nice Book
by Marilyn, MI
November 15, 2010

I bought this book as a gift, and the recipes all sound wonderful. The book is described as autographed by the author, but the "autograph" is on a little piece of paper just stuck inside the cover and first page -- a little disappointing. I thought the book itself would have Ina's signature written in it, with maybe a word such as "Enjoy!" Everything else about the book looks great.

Any book from Ina is automatically a winner. Of all the Food Network stars, she and Bobby Flay are tied for the #1 spot. Her recipes are easy to follow and always winners. Love her!

Signed copy of cookbook
by Kristine, CA
November 15, 2010

I love the Barefoot Contessa Cookbooks. When I saw the opportunity to purchase a "signed" copy of a cookbook, I jumped on it. Too bad it was only signed on a label to be inserted in the book by me. Strange. I love the book though!!!

Autographed Copy
by Susan, FL
November 15, 2010

It would have been nice if the celebrity actually signed the "autographed copy" of the book...instead I received an aughtographed sticker that I have peel/stick in the book...Not very authentic....

I have all of her books and couldn't wait for this one to come out! It is great. The price from FoodNetwork store was very good and on top of that it is signed by Ina. I would highly recommend FoodNetwork store to all of my friend and I plan on giving Ina' book to all the cooks in our family for Christmas!

I just received this new cookbook and already have many new recipes I can't wait to try! Barefoot Contessa is the best for writing recipes and if I follow them they come out perfect every time. I trust Ina and know she has tested her recipes until they are perfect. Thanks Ina!

Listen to the Contessa!!
by Juli, IN
November 15, 2010

Ina Garten is an expert at creating mouth-watering delicious recipes from simple fresh ingredients....many that can be found in a well-stocked pantry for last minute invitations or guests. This book is beautifully organized with recipes photographed in glorious detail. Actually this book is more than a collection of recipes...it is a lesson in how to live your life in the kitchen with joy whether you are cooking or entertaining.

Supposed autographed first edition copy
by Barbara , NE
November 15, 2010

I love the book, and I'm giving it as a gift. However, I was expecting an autographed copy of the first edition copy, and I found a small card inserted with Ina Garten's signature. In my opinion, that is NOT an autographed cookbook. I do love the book, but as a gift to my friend I was less than satisfied.
