Easy recipes. Large print/easy to read. Very enjoyable. I recommend highly. Helpful tips also.

I have three of her cookbooks, they are my mainstays probably because they don't require special ingredients. When company is coming I pull them out. The recipes in this volume are less festive and a tad more complicated than I expected. High calorie content as usual due to all the butter and cream but for special occasions, always get the applause.
 Good book, but not for the novice November 25, 2007

If you're expecting an "everyday" cookbook, this is not the book for you. If you haven't watched Ina Garten's cooking show, you would not know her definition of "everyday" is more along the lines of "everyday gourmet" - or that she used to be a caterer, and so some of her recipes as a body of work are more in line with a fancy dinner party than anything else. I tend to look at this cookbook as my "fancy but simple" dinner/dessert book, rather than something that I would use on a daily basis. For that, I've the Women's Day Cookbook or How to Cook Everything. Also, Ms. Garten's definition of simple still assumes a level of pantry stock and/or shopping that might not be available in a non-urban area - a fault I find with a number of Food Network hosts' cookbooks. Furthermore, if you just started cooking, this may not be the book for you, as you might burn some dishes, as she does not point out that in the roast capon recipe, adjusting the temperature of the oven after twenty minutes might be a good idea. That said, the recipes are yummy, easy to follow, but I wouldn't count on this as an "everyday" sort of cookbook. Maybe "everyday I entertain".

This book is so fun to read and hard to choose which recipe to make first! The Mexican Chicken Soup is worth the price of the book!

Bravo Ina! She has inspired me to really enjoy cooking all over again. I too have hundreds of cookbooks but very few stay in the kitchen/great room on a permanent basis so I can refer to them daily like Ina's do. I wish I had all her cookbooks on one DVD so I wasn't searching through them all to find the recipe I need but a minor inconvenience for sure. I just finished baking the Ultimate Ginger cookies and oh boy what a delicious treat they are! Pure heaven! And if you have a hard time finding Candied Ginger(it takes a lot) and sanding sugar you can get it here on Amazon.Taste Specialty Foods, Sliced Crystalized Ginger, 16-Ounce Jars (Pack of 2)India Tree Bright White Sparkling Sugar, 3.4-Pound Jars (Pack of 2)
