As I am obsessed with all thing Ina, I can not help but give this 5 stars.. Now that does not mean I did not actually read the text because I did and although I have not been able to cook ALL the recipes yet .... given we need to eat everyday I am confident that I will one day. And I am confident they will be uber delish as Ina has not let me down yet.
Most importantly- I can not wait until the next Ina supper club meets in September and we celebrate life, friends, family and some awesome food a la Ina family Style !

Definetly not low fat cooking! But the recipes I've made have been really good and not too difficult. Beautiful pictures.
Easy to prepare recipes for family and company - fits the warm casually elegant family style in the illustrations.
Great recipes that work.
