Hearty boeuf Bourguignon served in deep bowls over a garlic-rubbed slice of baguette toast; decadently rich croque monsieur, eggy and oozing with cheese; gossamer crème brulee, its sweetness offset by a brittle burnt-sugar topping. Whether shared in a cozy French bistro or in your own home, the romance and enduring appeal of French country cooking is irrefutable. Here is the book that helps you bring that spirit, those evocative dishes, into your own home.
What Ina Garten is known for—on her Food Network show and in her three previous bestselling books—is adding a special twist to familiar dishes, while also streamlining the recipes so you spend less time in the kitchen but still emerge with perfection. And that’s exactly what she offers in Barefoot in Paris. Ina’s kir royale includes the unique addition of raspberry liqueur—a refreshing alternative to the traditional crème de cassis. Her vichyssoise is brightened with the addition of zucchini, and her chocolate mousse is deeply flavored with the essence of orange. All of these dishes are true to their Parisian roots, but all offer something special—and are thoroughly delicious, completely accessible, and the perfect fare for friends and family.
Barefoot in Paris is suffused with Ina’s love of the city, of the bustling outdoor markets and alluring little shops, of the bakeries and fromageries and charcuteries—of the wonderful celebration of food that you find on every street corner, in every neighborhood. So take a trip to Paris with the perfect guide—the Barefoot Contessa herself—in her most personal book yet.

Summary: The best
Comment: I am actually an American living in Paris now and trying to adjust to the different groceries we have here. Things like butter, tomato sauce, milk and of course cheese are very different. And you can't buy fruits and veggies which are out of season or that will last more than a few days. We entertain a bit, so I am always looking for new recipes. This book is great because it is French food made with very basic, fresh ingredients that I can easily find at my local market, and you can no doubt find in the US all year long. Many of the recipes you can even make a day ahead so they're perfect for company. I love to prepare the 40 garlic chicken, the shallots or the beef bourginon for both my American and French friends, and they have been a huge hit every time! I recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook (and eat), especially with fresh ingredients (nothing from a can here), and can appreciate a tasty meal, perhaps with a nice wine. Ina even gives some good advice on choosing French wines to pair with a meal. It's a great book, lots of pictures, and easy to follow.

Summary: A Must for Any Cook!
Comment: This Barefoot Contessa book is a must! The recipes are so delicious and easy to make for anyone! She combines a french style with her renown simplicity and made this book a real gem! The Baba au Rhum is especially delicious and one of the best deserts I've ever had. If you enjoy cooking, fresh ingredients and don't have ALL the time in the world, this is a book for you.

Summary: The Best Barefoot Book
Comment: I am a huge Ina Garten fan and have all but one of her cookbooks, but I have to say, this one is my favorite. Every single recipe I've made has been absolutely delicious and very simple to make. Sometimes her ingredients are pricey, but when you make this at home, it's still a lot less expensive than eating out... and every bit as good.

Comment: Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home
Okay, I have never bought one of Ina Garten's cookbooks before, but I have enjoyed her joyful approach to homecooking on the Food Network and after suffering for more than 2 weeks with a cold, I bought the book and spent last weekend making her Beef Bourguignon and Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. I was a bit apprehensive about 40 cloves of garlic in one dish, but plowed ahead. The instructions were straightforward and produced a heavenly concoction that I could not stop eating. The same thing with the Beef receipe, except my wine was not quite up to par so I tinkered a bit, adding some brown sugar, which gave me a sumptuous thick liquid coating the beef, carrots and onions and mushrooms. This cookbook was so worth the investment!
