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 saut�ed 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.
