This book is simply gorgeous. Wonderful pictures with excellent recipes that are delicious yet simple to understand and make. Ina Garten is a master at making food that makes even the novice cook feel like a Chef! Highly recommend this book.

I really love cooking with this book! I first tried the Beef Bourguinon recipe from the foodnetwork and after that I couldn't wait to get the book to try more! If you love to cook and enjoy simple french food, this is it. It also has many gorgeous pictures of the dishes and paris as well. Wonderful information on Paris (where to go and things to do). I have made quite a few recipes and they've all been so good! It's also a fun cookbook to read! The recipes are not complicated to make and worth every minute it took to make. I highly recommend it!
I now have all of Ina's books and I have to say that it doesn't much get better than Ina. I have been collecting cookbooks for years and there are books I just look at, books I get rid of and books that I use over and over again. Barefoot Contessa books are the only ones you need. In a word Perfect. I have made several of her recipes. I have lost count as to the number of times I have made pear/apple crisp, apple crisp, curried chicken salad. Her carrot cake is the best I have ever tasted. And, her recipe for Chicken with Croutons in the Paris book is worth the price of the whole book. I had it 3 x just this week. It is fantastic. Absolutely scrumptious. I also add herbs de provence to it. Run don't walk to get this book and all her other ones. I hear she is also coming out with a new book in the Fall of 2008.

I love this cookbook. I love to cook in general, but her cookbooks are the first I reach for on my shelf because her recipes are delicious. My husband is now hooked on watching her show! The recipes are easy to follow and you can never go wrong with any of her recipes that contain cake. The book itself is a nice hardback and the pictures are beautiful. She also gives tips throughout. Like in this one, she tells you about french wine. It is a must have for anyone who loves being in the kitchen!
