Great in theory

I love reading Ina Garten's cookbooks. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the same stores she does, so I have trouble recreating her recipes. I like to use them as a basis for a good dinner. This book will give you some great ideas for a French meal

great book

Ina makes her recipes so easy to follow. This is a wonderful book for people who love French food...

Ina's Newest Fan

I received this book for Christmas and was so inspired by the recipes and lovely photos that I immediately started planning a trip to Paris. We got back a week ago and had a fabulous time! I mapped out all the recommended destinations at the back of her book. We were having such a good time we only made it to one (giving me an excuse to go back), E Dehillerin. It is the Mecca for anyone who loves to cook. Needless to say, I came back with a set of Mauviel copper pots and pans. We also had a Croque Monsieur during a picnic on the Champ de Mars (wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower) which I reproduced using the recipe from this book. It was like I was in the City of Lights all over again. Thank you Ina!

Ina is very inspiring. She makes french cooking so easy. I love it. She tells you about Paris, the flowers, table setting, wine and cheese. I would recommend this book to a beginner cook and everyone else.

I love Ina!

I am a total Ina junkie and this is by far her best cookbook, not just for the excellent recipes, but for the gorgeous pictures and travel suggestions she has at the end of the book.

Hearty boeuf Bourguignon served in deep bowls over a garlic-rubbed slice of baguette toast; decadently rich croque monsieur, eggy and oozing with cheese; gossamer crème brulee, its sweetness offset by a brittle burnt-sugar topping. Whether shared in a cozy French bistro or in your own home, the romance and enduring appeal of French country cooking is irrefutable. Here is the book that helps you bring that spirit, those evocative dishes, into your own home.

What Ina Garten is known for?on her Food Network show and in her three previous bestselling books?is adding a special twist to familiar dishes, while also streamlining the recipes so you spend less time in the kitchen but still emerge with perfection. And that?s exactly what she offers in Barefoot in Paris. Ina?s kir royale includes the unique addition of raspberry liqueur?a refreshing alternative to the traditional crème de cassis. Her vichyssoise is brightened with the addition of zucchini, and her chocolate mousse is deeply flavored with the essence of orange. All of these dishes are true to their Parisian roots, but all offer something special?and are thoroughly delicious, completely accessible, and the perfect fare for friends and family.

Barefoot in Paris is suffused with Ina?s love of the city, of the bustling outdoor markets and alluring little shops, of the bakeries and fromageries and charcuteries?of the wonderful celebration of food that you find on every street corner, in every neighborhood. So take a trip to Paris with the perfect guide?the Barefoot Contessa herself?in her most personal book yet.
