Book Description:
Ina Garten, who shared her gift for casual entertaining in the bestselling Barefoot Contessa Cookbook and Barefoot Contessa Parties!, is back with her most enticing recipes yet—a collection of her favorite dishes for everyday cooking. In Barefoot Contessa Family Style, Ina explains that sharing our lives and tables with those we love is too essential to be saved just for special occasions—and it’s easy to do if you know how to cook irresistible meals with a minimum of fuss.

For Ina, the best way to make guests feel at home is to serve them food that’s as unpretentious as it is delicious. So in her new book, she’s collected the recipes that please her friends and family most—dishes like East Hampton Clam Chowder, Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, and Linguine with Shrimp Scampi. It’s the kind of fresh, accessible food that’s meant to be passed around the table in big bowls or platters and enjoyed with warm conversation and laughter.

In Ina’s hands tried-and-true dishes are even more delicious than you remember them: Her arugula salad is bright with the flavors of lemon and Parmesan, the Oven-Fried Chicken is crispy without excess fat, and her Deep-Dish Apple Pie has the perfect balance of fruit and spice. Barefoot Contessa Family Style also includes enticing recipes that are memorable and distinctive, like Lobster Cobb Salad, Tequila Lime Chicken, and Saffron Risotto with Butternut Squash.

With vivid photographs of Ina cooking and serving food in her beautiful Hamptons home, as well as menu suggestions, practical wisdom on what to do when disaster strikes in the kitchen, and tips on creating an inviting ambience with music, Barefoot Contessa Family Style is the must-have guide to the joy of everyday entertaining.

The Contessa is a Winner! by Venetrise Y. Jackson
This cookbook is absolutely fabulous!!! The recipes are simple, yet elegant. My favorite is the Tequila Lime Chicken!

Nice book, but confusing by Lotte
I’ll just characterize one which drove me nuts. I watched the TV version of Leg of Lamb, and saw the picture in the book. Recipe calls for an 8 lb boneless Leg of Lamb, but the picture shows a Leg of Lamb with the bone it it! Such a Leg of Lamb would be HUGE! I saw one. Wouldn’t even fit in a large pan. After shopping around to one butcher after another, and finding the only Leg of Lamb with a bone in that would fit in a pan to be between 3-4 lbs, I gave up and bought a large one with no bone. It was OK, but not as tender as I would have liked.

It bugs me when the recipe isn’t the same as the presentation.

tasty and easy recipes by Tiffany Chapman
This cookbook is a staple in my home. They are easy recipes and taste incredible. Her chicken soup, chicken pot pie, and clam chowder are real hits with my husband and children. The primerib recipe is the absolute best!!! These are great recipes for a large hungry family.

Easy, tasty food in this book by K. Carl
I was given this book as a gift and have made many things in it already. I have liked all so far and the nice thing is that they are simple to make. No weird ingredients that you’d have to hunt down. I have noticed though that she uses generally more salt than my liking, but maybe not a problem for most. I will be looking for more books by her. Mmmm…
