Throughout the years that she has lived and worked in East Hampton,
Ina Garten has catered and attended countless parties and dinners.
She will be the first to tell you, though, that nothing beats a
cozy dinner, surrounded by the people you love most, in the comfort
that only your own home can provide. In "Barefoot Contessa at
Home," Ina shares her life in East Hampton, the recipes she loves,
and her secrets to making guests feel welcome and comfortable.
For Ina, it's friends and family-gathered around the dinner table
or cooking with her in the kitchen-that really make her house feel
like home. Here Ina offers the tried-and-true recipes that she
makes over and over again because they're easy, they work, and
they're universally loved. For a leisurely Sunday breakfast, she
has Easy Cheese Danishes or Breakfast Fruit Crunch to serve with
the perfect Spicy Bloody Mary. For lunch, she has classics with a
twist, such as Tomato, Mozzarella, and Pesto Paninis and
Old-Fashioned Potato Salad, which are simply delicious. Then there
are Ina's homey dinners-from her own version of loin of pork
stuffed with sauteed fennel to the exotic flavors of Eli's Asian
Salmon. And since Ina knows no one ever forgets what you serve for
dessert, she includes recipes for outrageously luscious sweets like
Peach and Blueberry Crumble, Pumpkin Mousse Parfait, and Chocolate
Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing.
Ina also lets readers in on her time-tested secrets for cooking and
entertaining. Get the inside scoop on everything from what Ina
considers when she's designing a kitchen to menu-planning basics
and how to make a dinner party fun (here's a hint: it doesn't
involve making complicated food ).
Along with beautiful photographs of Ina's dishes, her home, and the
East Hampton she loves, this book is filled with signature recipes
that strike the perfect balance between elegance and casual
comfort. With her most indispensable collection yet, Ina Garten
proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there truly is no place like
home.
