Book description
When Ina Garten opened her fabulous food store, The Barefoot
Contessa, it soon became the most popular place in town and attracted
masses of visitors all year round. But after 18 years, Ina needed a
new challenge and she turned her hand to writing up her wonderful
recipes and the great tips on style and entertaining that are the
hallmark of her work. And it wasn't too long before Ina became one of
America's most successful cookery writers. Her New York Times
bestselling books went on to sell more than 3 million copies worldwide
and today she is one of the stars of America's Food Network, where she
attracts weekly audiences of more than 5 million.
Genuinely warm and inspiring, Ina is America's own Domestic Goddess,
and her television popularity has carried over to the UK. She is
currently one of the most successful and respected cooks on the UK's
Food Network and the Good Food Channel, which attract terrific
audiences. This ever-growing tv profile is all down to the accessible,
no-nonsense approach Ina takes to cooking delicious meals that even
beginners can conjure up. Added to this is the little touch of luxury
she offers in both her books and her tv shows, all photographed and
filmed against the glorious backdrop of her fabulous kitchen and
garden in East Hampton.
Now, in
BACK TO BASICS Ina offers almost 100 brand new recipes,
all tried and tested to the highest standard and beautifully
illustrated in full-colour throughout. Focusing on her simple
techniques, this book has something for everyone. So, whether you're
aiming to prepare a delicious main-course 'crowd-pleaser', a quick and
easy tea-time treat, or something a little more sophisticated for a
special occasion, they're all here - and with simple instructions to
guarantee success every time!
Ina Garten is one of America's most loved culinary icons and the
author of five previous bestselling cookery books. Her
Barefoot Contessa
cookery programmes are screened each day on UK TVFood and she has just
signed up for a new series with this channel. Ina writes a column on
entertaining for America's
Home Beautiful
magazine and lives in East Hampton with her husband Jeffrey.
