Barefoot in Paris

Tender beef Bourguignon presented in large bowls on a piece of baguette bread dusted with garlic; incredibly rich croque monsieur, eggy and brimming with cheese; and irresistibly sweet crème brulee, its richness counterbalanced by a crisp burnt-sugar crust. There is no denying the charm and timeless allure of French rural cuisine, whether it is enjoyed at a quaint French restaurant or at home. This book will assist you in bringing that essence and those delicious recipes into your own house.

What makes Ina Garten famous is giving classic recipes a unique spin while condensing the recipe instructions to ensure that you spend less time in the kitchen and yet produce food that is flawless. This is seen in her three prior best-selling books and on her Food Network program. She provides just that in Barefoot in Paris. A refreshing substitute for the classic crème de cassis, raspberry liqueur is a distinctive addition to Ina's kir royale. Her chocolate mousse is richly flavored with orange essence, and her vichyssoise is enlivened with the addition of zucchini. While staying loyal to its Parisian origins, each of these recipes has a unique touch and is very tasty, easily attainable, and the ideal meal for gatherings with loved ones.

Barefoot in Paris exudes Ina's passion for the city, its vibrant outdoor markets, its charming tiny stores, its bakeries, fromageries, and charcuteries—all of which contribute to the amazing celebration of food that can be found in every district and on every street corner. In her most intimate book to date, the Barefoot Contessa offers you the ideal tour guide for a vacation to Paris: herself.
