For America’s bestselling cookbook author Ina Garten there is no greater pleasure than cooking for the people she loves—and particularly for her husband, Jeffrey. She has been cooking for him ever since they were married forty-eight years ago, and the comforting, delicious meals they shared became the basis for her extraordinary career in food.

Ina’s most personal cookbook yet, Cooking for Jeffrey is filled with the recipes Jeffrey and their friends request most often as well as charming stories from Ina and Jeffrey’s many years together. There are traditional dishes that she’s updated, such as Brisket with Onions and Leeks, and Tsimmes, a vegetable stew with carrots, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and prunes, and new favorites, like Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken and Roasted Salmon Tacos. You’ll also find wonderful new salads, including Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad and Kale Salad with Pancetta and Pecorino. Desserts range from simple Apple Pie Bars to showstoppers like Vanilla Rum Panna Cotta with Salted Caramel. For the first time, Ina has included a chapter devoted to bread and cheese, with recipes and tips for creating the perfect cheese course. With options like Fig and Goat Cheese Bruschettas and Challah with Saffron, there’s something everyone will enjoy.

From satisfying lunches to elegant dinners, here are the recipes Ina has tested over and over again, so you too can serve them with confidence to the people you love.

Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad Recipe

   • 2 pounds carrots, preferably with leafy tops
   • Good olive oil
   • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
   • ¼ cup pure Grade A maple syrup
   • 2/3 cup dried cranberries
   • 2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
   • 3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
   • 2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane
   • 6 ounces baby arugula
   • 6 ounces goat cheese, such as Montrachet, medium-diced
   • 2/3 cup roasted, salted Marcona almonds

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Trim and scrub the carrots. If the carrots are more than 1 inch in diameter, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut the carrots in large diagonal slices 1 inch wide × 2 inches long (they will shrink when they roast) and place in a medium bowl with ¼ cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Toss well and transfer to two sheet pans. (If you use just one, they’ll steam instead of roasting.) Roast for 20 minutes, tossing once, until the carrots are tender. Transfer all the carrots to one of the sheet pans, add the maple syrup, toss, and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are caramelized. Watch them carefully! Toss with a metal spatula and set aside for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, then set aside for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the arugula in a large bowl and add the carrots, cranberries (with their liquid), goat cheese, almonds, and the vinaigrette. Toss with large spoons, sprinkle with salt, and serve at room temperature.

Jeffrey Taste Tested Recipes
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016
Verified Purchase
Ina Garten writes the most perfect, wonderful cookbooks. I have every one, and I think this is the tenth.This one is dedicated to her husband, Jeffrey. Most of the recipes are ones Ina made specifically for Jeffrey, and if you follow Ina in her books and her television series, you know Jeffrey loves chicken, roasted best of all.

From my first perusal, these recipes are new, and upon reading the cookbook, they are indeed. Ina has two women who work with her and beside Jeffrey, she dedicates this book to them. The recipes in this book are the traditional recipes Jeffrey loves, and Ina has updated them. I must mention the photography, as always the photographs in Ina's books are exceptional, beautiful food photographed so that you think you can smell the food and want a bite. These photographs are by Quentin Bacon. Ina has a beautiful garden, and those photos are by John M Hall. There are also photos included from Ina and Jeffrey's life, their wedding, their travels.

Ina starts her book with an Introduction, the times in Ina's life when food meant the most, and she has included personal family stories. Each chapter begins with a story about some of the foods found in that chapter.

Cocktails: this includes appetizers and some very unusual drinks.

Soups and salads: from Triple roasted carrot salad to asparagus and fennel soup.

Dinner: roast chicken with radishes, rigatoni with sausage and fennel, crusty baked shells and cauliflower.

Vegetables and sides: Parmesan roasted zucchini, and sautéed shredded Brussels sprouts.

Bread and cheese: roasted plum chutney and English oat crackers

Desserts: vanilla cream cheese pound cake- like Ina I love pound cake and this is on my list, devil's food cake with coffee meringue buttercream- which is seen in the cover.

The book ends with a list of Jeffrey's all time dinner favorites. Yes, perfect roast chicken heads the list.

Resources is last, photos of all the pieces of equipment Ina uses in the kitchen, and a URL of where to find them.

This is a really good book, and after ten cookbooks, Ina has not lost her talent for great tasting and looking foods.

Recommended. prisrob 10-26-16

In the top 3 Ina books. This, Foolproof, and Parties.
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2016

Terrific book! If you’re an Ina fan you wont be disappointed. This is in my top three Ina cookbooks. I can’t pick a favorite between this, Foolproof, and Parties.

If you haven't tried one of her books yet, you're in for a treat. One of the things that really makes her stand out is that there are never any scaling or other kinds of errors in her books. You can make a recipe for the first time when entertaining, because her recipes turn out perfectly every time.

Because it’s Cooking for Jeffrey, I was surprised that there were only two chicken dishes in it.

Pictured below:
1) Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken p.90 and Roasted Broccolini p.162. Absolutely wonderful, and tremendously easy. 45 minutes, but only about 5 involve the cook.
2) Raspberry Rhubarb Crostata p.205. Yummy, pretty, and a piece of cake to put together.
3) Paella Salad. Delicious Paella. It has kielbasa and curry powder in it, which are on the unusual side. I love the inclusion of olives in it. I used a paella pan as my serving dish, but this recipe is prepared in a Dutch oven. --I ordered the book after I saw this recipe on her show with the same name, but it's not in the book, so Google it and paste it inside the cover!
4) Roast Chicken with Radishes - p93. Perfection! Flavorful, moist, and a lovely crispy skin.
5) Maple Roasted Carrot Salad - p46. Fabulous fall salad! Delicious, colorful, and unusual. Love this one.
6) Filet Mignon with Mustard and Mushrooms - p104. Love! This is so wonderful and decadent that I should have made it for Christmas or some other really special occasion instead of a random Tuesday. Easy, but I wouldn't want to scale it up for 12 or anything. I just made roasted asparagus to go with it.
