Reviews

I enjoy Barefoot Contessa both for its presentation, which is just about the best Ive ever seen, and also because the food tastes like home cookingbecause it is. I'm drawn in as much by its personality as I am by what they have to offer.Steven Spielberg, director, DreamWorks SKG

Like Ina Garten herself, this stunning, lively new book is about style, simplicity, comfort, and good times among family and friends. Her natural approach to food is frank and forward, and you are sure to treasure each tip, each story, each recipe.Patricia Wells, author of At Home with Patricia Wells: Cooking in Provence

No store more fully embodies the easy, stylish elegance of the Hamptons than Barefoot Contessa. And no one understands what successful entertaining is all about better than Ina Garten. Born of retailing, her wonderful accessible recipes have been tested on you and me for a very long time and they really work. Bravo!Eli Zabar, owner of E.A.T., The Vinegar Factory, Eli's Bread, Across the Street, and Eli's Manhattan
