Product Description
Hearty boeuf Bourguignon served in deep bowls over a garlic-rubbed slice of baguette toast; decadently rich croque monsieur, eggy and oozing with cheese; gossamer crème brulee, its sweetness offset by a brittle burnt-sugar topping. Whether shared in a cozy French bistro or in your own home, the romance and enduring appeal of French country cooking is irrefutable. Here is the book that helps you bring that spirit, those evocative dishes, into your own home.
What Ina Garten is known for?on her Food Network show and in her three previous bestselling books?is adding a special twist to familiar dishes, while also streamlining the recipes so you spend less time in the kitchen but still emerge with perfection. And that?s exactly what she offers in Barefoot in Paris. Ina?s kir royale includes the unique addition of raspberry liqueur?a refreshing alternative to the traditional crème de cassis. Her vichyssoise is brightened with the addition of zucchini, and her chocolate mousse is deeply flavored with the essence of orange. All of these dishes are true to their Parisian roots, but all offer something special?and are thoroughly delicious, completely accessible, and the perfect fare for friends and family.
Barefoot in Paris is suffused with Ina?s love of the city, of the bustling outdoor markets and alluring little shops, of the bakeries and fromageries and charcuteries?of the wonderful celebration of food that you find on every street corner, in every neighborhood. So take a trip to Paris with the perfect guide?the Barefoot Contessa herself?in her most personal book yet.
Review
Ina Garten's much loved cookbooks, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Parties!, and Barefoot Contessa Family Style, offer relaxed yet stylish dishes that don't tax the cook. Her food works wonderfully for entertaining but shouldn't be limited to such times. Barefoot in Paris finds Garten (almost inevitably) in France, "translating" native dishes for the American home cook. The result is rewarding, and should get those reluctant to "cook French" to do just that. Covered are classics like Celery Root Rémoulade, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic, but also "newer" dishes like Zucchini Vichyssoise and Avocado and Grapefruit Salad. If Garten ranges wide from typical Parisian fare--in, for example, recipes like Rosemary Cashews, Tomato Rice Pilaf, and a distinctly American Brownie Tart--these nonetheless embody the French approach. Her sweets, including the likes of Peaches in Sauternes, Plum Cake "Tatin," and an exemplary Crème Brûlée, are particularly tempting. Included also are asides like "About French Table Settings," and "If You're Going," a resource guide, that, practicality apart, give readers a sense of French culinary life. With color photos, this is winning addition to the Barefoot collection. --Arthur Boehm

Summary: Doable French Cooking
I loved the movie Julie and Julia and immediately bought Julia Child's book. As soon as I started reading it I knew I would never use any of the recipes. A friend recommended Barefoot in Paris and I am so glad she did. All of the recipes are certainly doable and I have all ready used several. The book itself is beautiful and fun to read.

Summary: My Favorite Ina Cookbook
Now this is the way I like to cook and entertain! Simple, delicious, elegant food for friends and family. I love every recipe in this well-photographed, easy to follow cookbook.
Barefoot in Paris is organized in to sections; to start, lunch, soup and salad, dinner, vegetables, and dessert. My MUST MAKE, standout recipes include:
Lunch
Herbed-Baked Eggs (finally the whole family, brunch party, etc. can sit down and enjoy eggs together-- and what winning eggs!)
Dinner
Lemon Chicken with Croutons (do not miss out on this recipe-- it is truly outstanding, the best chicken dish I have ever made-- easy to make but still perfect for special dinner guests)
Dessert
Coeur a la creme with Raspberries (a great, easy, impressive, different dessert and one I will make again and again)
Elephant Ears (aka Palmiers-- these couldn't be easier to make and they are a crowd pleaser-- I serve them alone as a sweet appetizer or with ice cream for dessert)
These are my favorite recipes from any Barefoot Contessa cookbook (except Beatty's Chocolate Cake from Barefoot Contessa at Home: Everyday Recipes You'll Make Over and Over Again). If you love Ina, you will LOVE this cookbook.
