Review: Fantastic - I have all of Ina's books and use a lot of recipes from each of them, but this one in particular is my most used of all. As with all of Ina's recipes the instructions are clear and easy to follow and always turn out perfectly and are incredibly delicious. The photographs are stunning and I always prefer cookbooks where there is an accompanying photograph of the dish with the recipe which Ina's books always have. I also really like the extra information included in this book such as easy tips for a dinner party, setting a beautiful table etc. Recipes in regular rotation for me are: Tomato and Goats Cheese Tarts Tuscan Lemon Chicken Spring Green Risotto Honey Vanilla Pound Cake There is only the 2 of us and I find that the recipes halve very well too as Ina does seem to make a lot!

As with all of Ina's recipes the instructions are clear and easy to follow and always turn out perfectly and are incredibly delicious.

Don't listen to the whingeing about the book being in "American" and there being no translation. All it takes is a bit of common sense and a set of AMERICAN measuring cups. English ones are a different size and won't work for cakes and recipes which require precision. The American measuring cup holds 8 oz or 237grames - English measuring cups hold 250grammes. Doesn't sound like muck but it can be disastrous!They are easy to find and not expensive I bought mine (made by Tala, a good make) in the local pound shop but Amazon carries them too. The only thing I would warn the unsuspecting about is that Ina is very heavy-handed with the salt (as are a lot of American cooks). ## Frequently Bought Together - Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: Fabulous Flavor from Simple Ingredients: A Cookbook - The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook - Barefoot Contessa Foolproof: Recipes You Can Trust: A Cookbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/88281538-barefoot-contessa-back-to-basics-fabulous-flavor-from-simple-ingredients](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/88281538-barefoot-contessa-back-to-basics-fabulous-flavor-from-simple-ingredients) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
