Review: Barefoot in Paris

For fans of Ina Garten and her show, Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, having a collection of favorite recipes in one book is a real treat. While all of Ina’s books are great, her Barefoot in Paris book is filled with wonderful, French-inspired recipes. The thing that I loved about these recipes is that they truly are easy for the everyday cook. You don’t need to be a whiz in French cooking to pull them off.

There are recipes for every course of a meal, along with generous photos and even a story or two from Ina on how the recipe came to be. I enjoyed her practical take on French cooking, and found that I could make béarnaise sauce for the first time ever using her recipe.

For cooks that want to add a few French recipes to their repertoire, or fans of Ina Garten, you won’t be disappointed.
