Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Usable, delicious and very readable I must admit, I collect cookbooks like coffee table books. This one works well as a coffee table book (lovely pictures of food looking gorgeous, and readable text). But not to belittle the book, it is also a terrific cookbook. I've tried 3 recipes so far and they turned out fabulous! (the grilled prawns were my favourite). The recipes were easy to follow and this book is definitely moving from the coffee table to my kitchen. Why not 5 stars then? The self-advertising is a bit too obvious. Rating: - CHARLES DICKENS AND JANE AUSTEN WOULD HAVE LOVED YOU! Sometimes it's hard to plan a get-together where people enter a room and enjoy themselves with good food and drink and fine conversation. Authors such as Charles Dickens and Jane Austen wrote extensively about people who got together at parties where foods and drinks were served, and wonderful conversation ensued; perhaps that's what every host and hostess would love to hear at their parties. Reading books such as Barefoot Contessa Parties! and The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook make me grateful that someone like Ina Garten took the time to figure out how an average homemaker can create nice parties where the food is not only delicious but comfortable to assemble and enjoy with friends. Before I read the book, it wasn't easy even to prepare a brunch for eight, but with sensible ideas, I can offer guests something different without trying the "omelettes for individuals", as Ina once did. Ina's Chinese Chicken Salad with the delicious peanut sauce is already in my refrigerator, as is the noodle pudding (rich and delicious). I loved the idea of pre-oiling and pre-heating the pan before creating homemade potato chips, and the Asian Grilled Salmon was a winner. Just think what 19th century authors would have accomplished if they were privy to your parties... Thanks to you and your terrific staff! What would I do without you? Sincerely, Robin Rating: - Excellent choice for those who love to entertain! I am passionate about food and cooking and appreciate a good recommendation on cook books. This book came highly recommended by an associate at the bookstore so I thought I would give it a try. The stories are wonderful and the recipes extremely easy to follow and create(especially with a color photo to compare to). I've made 3 recipes so far, ceasar salad, chicken chili, and chocolate chunk cookies - all to rave reviews! I decided to try the salad for a family gathering - a family of fine cooks - so I was a bit nervous trying something new. I soon realized there was no need to be nervous when the complements started and noticed some dipping their bread in the salad bowl. I knew this book was a great treasure when I received so many complements on the cookies - which I've been trying to master for years (Toll-House doesn't compare to these). I can't wait to creat more of these wonderful recipes! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to entertain and equally loves food!
