Ina Garten has cooked and attended innumerable dinners and parties throughout her years of living and working in East Hampton. She'll be the first to admit that there's nothing better than spending a warm evening with the people you care about in the warmth that comes only from home. Ina discusses her East Hampton lifestyle, her favorite dishes, and her insider tips for creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for visitors in Barefoot Contessa at Home.
For Ina, nothing makes her home really seem like home more than her loved ones gathering around the dinner table or in the kitchen helping her prepare. Here, Ina shares the tried-and-true dishes that she often prepares since they are simple, effective, and well-liked by everybody. She makes the ideal Spicy Bloody Mary to go with Easy Cheese Danishes or morning Fruit Crunch for a lazy Sunday morning. She serves simple but tasty classics for lunch, such Old-Fashioned Potato Salad and Paninis with Tomato, Mozzarella, and Pesto. Then there are Ina's casual meals, which range from the unique tastes of Eli's Asian Salmon to her own take on a pork loin filled with roasted fennel. Furthermore, Ina offers recipes for very decadent desserts like Peach and Blueberry Crumble, Pumpkin Mousse Parfait, and Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing, since she understands that no one ever forgets what you serve for dessert.
Additionally, Ina shares with readers her tried-and-true culinary and entertaining tips. Get the lowdown on everything from the factors that Ina takes into account when designing a kitchen to the fundamentals of menu planning and how to make a dinner party enjoyable (hint: it doesn't need preparing sophisticated cuisine!).
This book has stunning photos of Ina's meals, her house, and the East Hampton she loves in addition to her unique recipes, which expertly combine sophistication with easygoing comfort. There really is no place like home, as Ina Garten unequivocally demonstrates with her most indispensible collection to date.
