 EXCELLENT but not for the health-conscious! August 6, 1999
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Beautifully written and photographed, and unlike most cookbooks that come from famous eateries, the recipes are really doable. I've tried the Grilled Lemon Chicken, French Potato Salad and Banana Crunch Muffins, and all were excellent. However, everything is LOADED with fat (the muffins have 2 sticks of butter for 18 jumbo muffins, plus coconut, whole milk, nuts, etc.). I reduced the fat and sugar in the muffins and they still tasted great. I hope I'll get good results with slimming down other recipes -- otherwise this will be a splurge-time-only book for me!
I love this book! July 16, 1999

I just received my copy of the Barefoot Contessa today, and I haven't hardly been able to put it down! The recipes sound wonderful, look fairly easy to prepare, and I love reading the little description about each recipe! I am especially eager to make the split pea soup that Steven Speilberg enjoyed! The pictures are great as well! Thank you NBC Today Show for telling us about this wonderful book!
 Great Recipies for Entertaining July 14, 1999

This book is terrific! I was looking for a good cookbook with simple recipes for entertaining and I found it in this one. If you love food and cooking, but you have a life outside your kitchen, this book is for you.Though not all the recipes are simple, the majority are, and many of the others are worth the effort. I had a party two nights ago and served the Grilled Lemon Chicken with Satay Dipping Sauce. It was a HUGE hit.
My new favourite cookbook July 13, 1999

What a beautiful cookbook. I love the photos as much as the recipes. I have only had it for a week but it is fast becoming my favourite. Last night I made the roasted eggplant dip and let me tell you the smell whilst it is cooking is sublime and the taste matches it. I have tried the beef bougonone (spelling?) and that too is to die for. My boyfriend wants to marry me he's so impressed with the results.
This book is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate July 6, 1999

The book makes me happy. I love the recipes, the photographs, the choice of recipes and the side comments. I have made a number of things that my family has enjoyed. A great holiday gift.
