Summary: Bad news
Comment: It is more than a month since I ordered this book AND I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED IT! Yes, I am shouting. I sent an email saying I hadn't received it. No response.
Forget me ordering from this person again.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not Sold On It
Comment: I expected a lot from this book.
It left much to be desired.
I think that for this price I could have gotten something better, even if it wasn't recipes from someone on the Food Network Channel.
Ina,this wasn't up to par or your usual standards.You could have done better.

Summary: Back To Basics
Comment: I've watched Ina on the Food Network doing this series "Back to Basics" and have enjoyed it so much I had to get the book. I also learned how to make great biscuits from her, and wonderful scones. She is the best, and very easy to understand, and gives wonderful advice on what not to do as well in her tips sections.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Get this book!
Comment:
Should have one in every kitchen.... great for entertaining or for every day. Lots of good things to cook and to eat. Ina makes everything so clear and so easy to do - you love to be in the kitchen - I've never like to cook.
Now I cook.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Useful
Comment: I cook and entertain as a hobby. One thing I have noticed as I have begun collecting cookbooks from the "celebrity" chefs I enjoy watching, is that they can be much like music albums. You can overpay for a very lush, beautifully photographed book that only has one or two real "keepers" in it because so many of the other recipes with iffy ingrediants will draw blank stares from some of your guests who wonder what you were thinking. It's much the same as with many albums where I really liked the artist but only a couple of songs on the album. Also, like songs that are too long and tedious to enjoy, many books offer recipes so lengthy and complex, a goof up under pressure is easy and you are robbed from spending time with your guests.
Not so with Ina's book. It's wonderful. Everything I have prepared has been quick to put together (at least if the prep work is done before-hand) and has drawn raves from family and guests. In fact, I started putting the book out as I cook instead of using the normal printouts from the websites that I use to prevent the expensive books from getting greased and sauced. Guests have actually started passing the book around and picking out the meals they want me to prepare on their next visit. What a hoot!
This is a woman who knows how to cook and more importantly how to live. That comes out in all of her books that I own, but especially this one. Buy it.
