Maybe this makes me a big ol' anti-feminist bigot, but it's hard to trust a serious recipe book author who is pin-thin. A passion for food, flavor, and sensual enjoyment shows in a cook book author's presence. Ina Garten is no light weight when it comes to cook books and thank goodness for that.

This book is lovely: easy recipes, gorgeous photography, large format, no ingredients or processes are too exotic for the average cook to try. It's unassuming, simply presented, and the results are world-class.

Contrary to its title, I am never inspired to make the Barefoot Contessa's recipes again and again. Not that I don't like her. But she seems to have such a strong following of people who love her, and I just don't like her as much as they do. How about Nigella Lawson? James Beard? Even Rachel Ray is more fun to read, though she puts together some odd combinations. ( )

As a fan of Ina's TV show on Food Network, buying this book was a no-brainer. Now this cookbook has earned a permanent spot on my kitchen counter! The recipes are simple and flavorful, and I can always turn to this book when I need a quick meal. The coconut layer cake is a huge crowd pleaser and I adore the cheddar scones. The recipes are basic enough for new cooks, yet still special enough for a holiday meal or dinner party. I recommend it highly!

I love this book. I have read and nearly memorized every recipe in this book. It is excellent. If you don't have it. Get it! ( )

Love her potato salad! I give this 4 stars because I was hoping for more meals in this cookbook, but there were only a few. Still, the photos are fabulous, and this is a must keep! ( )
