Book Description

November 30, 2010
In her first ever boxed set, bestselling cookbook author and Food Network star Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, unites her initial three titles in one beautiful package.
           
Here are the books that started it all for Ina Garten, who turned a passion for food into a successful specialty food store in the Hamptons and is now beloved by millions for her Barefoot Contessa television show and cookbooks. The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, Ina's first book, has all of the fabulous, easy recipes that won Ina a loyal following at her retail shop, including Perfect Roast Chicken, French Potato Salad, and those irresistible Coconut Cupcakes. In Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ina shares her very best menus, divided by season, for fuss-free yet gorgeous entertaining, from a summer garden lunch for eight to an intimate fireside dinner for two. Barefoot Contessa Family Style is full of crowd-pleasers you'll make again and again, like roasted asparagus showered with freshly grated Parmesan and a French toast made with challah and just the right amount of grated orange zest and pure vanilla extract to make it sing. 
  
Together, these three titles form a timeless collection perfect for every home cook, whether accomplished or amateur, and for every occasion, whether a weeknight dinner with family or a larger, more festive gathering. With stunning photography and Ina's helpful tips, this boxed set makes the perfect gift for those who love to cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars INA IS UNIQUE - SO IS THE CONTESSA COOKBOOK December 21, 2010
Format:Hardcover
For those who haven't had the pleasure of shopping at Ina Garten's specialty food store in the Hamptons The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook delivers - literally. Some 160 gorgeous photos plus Ina's favorite recipes fill the 252 pages of this indispensable kitchen reference
As Martha Stewart writes in her Foreword, Ina is unique. "There is a freshness in cooking, a total lack of finickiness, a reliance on the freshest and best, and a casualness that I know will be appealing to everyone who uses her book." How true!
Ina stresses freshness, noting that after several weeks in Provence where she found radishes and carrots with "soil still clinging to them," she determined to base her cooking on ingredients from local sources. A lesson for us all.
Hosting a cocktail party, she decided, was not much fun if she spent all of her time running back and forth to the kitchen to get hot hors d'oeuvres out of the oven. So, she does everything possible to be sure that she does not leave the room. For instance, she has a table with all the drink fixings on it, and appetizers that can be served at room temperature so everything is either out or ready to pass when the first guest arrives. Thus we find common sense and uncommonly good appetizers from Roasted Eggplant spread to Guacamole to Smoked Salmon Sandwiches.
Her soups are splendid, most of them starting with sauteed onions "to give a sweet, rich flavor to the stock." Parker's Split Pea Soup, which Steven Spielberg said tasted just like his mother's, is rich, hearty and beautifully presented topped either with toasted croutons or diced smoked ham.
The joy Ina finds in cooking is evident in all of her dishes. She's a cook who makes simple food very, very special.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great. But It's Individual Books July 23, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Of course, I love Ina. She is the kitchen goddess. Great, sophisticated recipes but simple to prepare. I bought this collection thinking it was Ina's first three three books combined into one with (hope of hopes!) a combined index. Nope. The box contains Ina's first three books, individually. Still, they're great books and an excellent basis for any modern cook's library.
Ok- just took all of the books out of the (very nice) box and see that there is a sturdy, wipe-able combined index included. Just don't misplace it! Also, a combined index for all the books is available at Ina's website.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cookbooks -Perfect Outcomes July 30, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
These cookbooks are wonderful. I am not a confident cook, but as I started to cook different recipes, from appetizers to desert, each dish was delicious. I would recommend this book to any person that has bought or used a cookbook, invested time in buying the ingredients and cooking the recipes, only to find out they don't work. With Barefoot Contessa, each recipe is easy to follow, beautiful to look at and tastes incredible. You won't regret it. The collection comes with an easy to use recipe index poster, to reference recipes and find them in the correct cookbook.
