Editorial Review of Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home
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.

Customer Reviews of Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home
Customer Rating: 
Review Summary: Disappointing!
Review: Usually, Ms. Garten provides stellar recipes; however, "Barefoot in Paris" is about as bad as it gets. Her cooking times are optimistic at best and it appears that she presumes everyone has a each tool made available from Williams and Sonoma. Do yourself a favor and avoid this book, it's hack-y at best. Her recipes are neither easy nor could be made at home (unless you happen to timeshare with Gordon Ramsay). Bobby Flay's offerings are far better than Ms. Garten's misguided book.

Review Summary: Delicious and easy to make recipes!!!
Review: After honeymooning in Paris, my husband and I craved the simplicity and decadent flavors of French cooking. I do believe that this cookbook provides a representative glimpse of french classic cooking. I am not saying these recipes are straight out of the bistros and cafes of Paris but that they are a more practical approach at some of France's most popular classic dishes. I am by no means a professional chef so I write this review from the standpoint of the average cook who enjoys tasty creations that are relatively inexpensive and easy to whip up at home :o)

Review Summary: Ou est la Tour Eiffel?
Review: I have no desire to master French cooking and I'm not a fan of Julia Child. I do, however, love beautiful cookbooks that don't mind getting splattered and authors who pare things down to the basics, hence why I love Ina and have no problem giving this book five stars. The recipes are easy, basic riffs on French classics, that don't involve long preparations or too many ingredients. I've never eaten in a French bistro but I would hope that it would be like this. Ina's love of Paris and French cooking shines through but it's not cloying; rather, she wants you to enjoy it as much as she does without thinking you need to be fussy or over done. As usual, Ina has given her readers a treasure trove of pictures and information; it's a delight to sit down with and just read.

Review Summary: FRENCH QUICK & EASY-A BEAUTIFUL COOKBOOK
Review: I have tried several French cookbooks, and I have loved each and every one. But French cooking can be time consuming. So if you would like to cook French recipes, but don't want the hassle of long drawn out processess, this is your book. Everything is easy to understand, and beautful to look at. My favorite was her version of a crème brûlée recipe. I have made it several times, and everytime it comes out flawless. I also loved many other recipes within this great idea of a cookbook. Thanks Ina.
