Barefoot Contessa Family Style Easy Ideas and Recipes That Make Everyone Feel Like Family Ina Garten 8601400525517 Books Reviews

This is one of my favorite Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. I love her food-- simple ingredients, delicious food, elegant presentation and all with a minimum of fuss. I love that all her cookbooks are a reasonable size, I can actually use them in the kitchen! And I love that every recipe has a picture. I turn to Family Style whenever I am having company. It is so easy to put together my menu from this cookbook-- I have even been inspired by her table settings.

In this book, I think the Dinners and Vegetables are the standout sections. In Dinners, don't miss the Herb-Roasted Lamb or the Penne with Five Cheeses. In Vegetables, be sure to make Mashed Yellow Turnips (a welcome change from mashed potatoes), Garlic Sauteed Spinach, and the Rosemary Polenta. I can't even count the number of times I have made the Spinach, I even make it for myself when I am home alone, it is so easy and good.
Buying this for my nephew who is new to cooking. Use these recipes for years. Always good. Easy recipes.
I am the quintessential "ambitious but inexperienced" cook to whom Ina Garten's book are supposed to cater. Prior to using this book, my lasagnas would make messes, rather than good dinners. Where other recipes fail to deliver, EVERYTHING I have tried from this book has succeeded. Speaking of the turkey sausage lasagna... I made endless substitutions, right down to using vegan Tofurky sausage and pureed cottage cheese instead of ricotta. It turned out wonderfully, and my non-vegetarian "please don't put meat sustitute in my food" husband loved it. Following the recipes exactly might be important in some cases, but the cooking process seems to be the magical element in many others. In fact, my spouse doesn't really care for sauce-less veggies but loved the roasted asparagus recipe when I used baby broccoli instead.
I appreciate the footnotes that help me when I want to stray from the original recipe, or make something ahead of time. This really increases the utility of the recipes.
While the ingredients might be expensive at times, at least they end up producing "mmm's" at the table rather than ending up in the trash or dog bowl.
And yes, there is a lot of butter used throughout, but the food turns out so elegant and rich it takes only a portion to be satisfied, and this calorie watcher has not gained weight despite eating the mashed potatoes.
If you combine the ideas in this book with those from the t.v. show- make one main dish, a salad/veg & dessert- you will have a complete lovely dinner without needing 2 ovens and 2 hours. This book has made me feel inspired and successful, despite being quite average in the kitchen. If I can now make good tiramisu, so can anyone.
First off, let me say that I use this book often and, for the most part, I absolutely LOVE it. The first recipe I tried, Sagaponack Corn Pudding, was truly different from other corn pudding recipes I'd tried, living up to Garten's promise that it would not be bland - and it wasn't - nor was it too spicy. It had some added flavor thanks to cheddar cheese and fresh basil but those with less experimental tastes could leave out the basil (as I did when we had small children at dinner one evening) and it would still be delicious.
Another plus to this cookbook Many of the recipes are not only family-friendly but easy to throw together. There are also plenty of dishes for vegetarians as well as meat eaters, making meal planning easy. Nearly every recipe I tried was wonderful, with the minor exception of the Chicken Noodle Soup (I prefer my recipe).
Now the caveat If you like extremely exotic or unusual foods, this may not be the ideal cookbook for you. While there ARE recipes which are new and different (like the Saffron Risotto with Butternut Squash or a truly different and yummy Espresso Ice cream, better than any I've had thus far), MOST of the recipes are updated versions of familiar favorites..Rice Pilaf, Hashed Browns, Fried Chicken, etc. Professional or gourmet cooks may want something more challenging.
But I've had a hard time finding cookbooks which contain tasty recipes I can serve, night after night, and still keep my family happy and well-fed while minimizing my kitchen time. For those purposes, this one fits the bill. And if you happen to have any guests drop in at meal time, you can bet they'll be happy too!
My son was all judgy about Ina Garten and refused to listen to me when I said her recipes do not fail. After reading the reviews, I chose this cookbook as a Christmas because he and his wife enjoy cooking for small gatherings and entertaining. The first recipe he tried sold him. He's already marked several others he wants to try. Now he's the one telling everyone that Ina's recipes do not fail.
Always like Ina. Every time I watch her show, I pick up a trick; whether it be of cooking or hosting a dinner. "Family Style" is really the right word for this cook book. If you wants "warm" friendly recipes that you can serve to the mass, try this book out.
I love all of Ina's books and her recipes are very easy to follow. I enjoy cooking and my boyfriend has liked everything I've made from this book. I plan on getting all of her books one day!
