Move Over, Barefoot Contessa!
Wow! Such a beautiful, high-quality Book and the recipes are amazing! So far I have made five of her recipes (in as many days) and every one was incredibly delicious! My husband is so impressed, declaring this cookbook a winner. I have (and love and use) all 10 of Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa cookbooks, but I have to say this one beats them all! A must-have for every discerning home chef!
Blueberry Scones with Tart Lemon Glaze: Easy and delicious! The tart lemon glaze with lemon zest takes this one over the top! Came out perfect the first time!
Orange Gazpacho with Basil: we love gazpacho and have been making it for years from three favorite recipes. This is very easy and the fresh-squeezed orange juice is a refreshing twist! Love! Will definitely make this again.
Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding: this took about 5 minutes to throw together before refrigerating overnight. After 45 minutes of baking...Wow, absolutely delicious! Perfect texture, perfect balance of flavors. Raves all around!
Herbed roasted potatoes: adding garlic cloves halfway through cooking is ingenious. This was quick and easy to throw together and everyone devoured them! More flavorful than The Barefoot Contessa’s similar herbed potatoes, cooked to perfection, and there were no leftovers!
Can’t wait to try all the rest!
