Ina Garten has some of the best of the newer cookbooks out on the market today. I own three of her books, Barefoot contessa at home, Barefoot contessa back to basics and Barefoot contessa family style. I can’t tell you which is my favorite, the one I am using at the time, I guess.
Her recipes are up to date, many are a new twist on a older recipe and give me a different way of fixing something I have made for years. They are recipes that are right on amounts, timing and results. The color photos are beautiful, the paper the book is printed on is lovely, and all in all they are a class act.
Many of my families favorite meals and desserts come from these cookbooks. We hope that you will enjoy taking a look at some of them and that it will inspire you to buy one or more of these cookbooks and get creative with your own family meals.
