Fall into Cooking Featured Recipe from Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa: How Easy Is That?: Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast Why do we only serve turkey on Thanksgiving? A whole turkey breast roasted with fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme is a great weeknight dinner and the leftovers make delicious sandwiches the next day. Roasting the turkey at 325 degrees and allowing it to rest for fifteen minutes ensures that it will be very moist. --Ina GartenServes 6 to 8IngredientsPreheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up.In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly all over the skin of the turkey breast. (You can also loosen the skin and smear half of the paste underneath, directly on the meat.) Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.Roast the turkey for 1½ to 1 ¾ hours, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read meat thermometer registers 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest and meatiest area of the breast. Check the breast after an hour or so; if the skin is overbrowning, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.When the turkey is done, remove from the oven, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and allow the turkey to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the pan juices.This recipe is inspired by a cranberry pie from Sarah Chase’s book Cold Weather Cooking. My friend Barbara Liberman calls it “easy cake”--I call it delicious. It’s even better served warm with vanilla ice cream. --Ina GartenServes 6-8Ingredients12 ounces fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked over for stems 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced ½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed 1 tablespoon grated orange zest (2 oranges) ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice 11⁄8 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar ¼ pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ¼ cup sour cream 1 cup all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon kosher saltPreheat the oven to 325 degrees.Combine the cranberries, apple, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium, add 1 cup of the granulated sugar, the butter, vanilla, and sour cream and beat just until combined. On low speed, slowly add the flour and salt.Pour the fruit mixture evenly into a 10-inch glass pie plate. Pour the batter over the fruit, covering it completely. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1⁄8 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature.The focus is on creating simpler yet appetizing dishes that save time and minimize stress in the kitchen in bestselling author (Barefoot Contessa Cookbook) and Food Network guru Garten's latest. She showcases recipes that utilize fewer ingredients, limited to those easily found in supermarkets or specialty food stores. She also stays away from time-consuming cooking techniques, instead making unusually good use of her oven for everything from easy parmesan risotto and French toast bread pudding to spicy turkey meatballs. Despite the relative simplicity of these dishes, they are still elegant enough to be served at dinner parties, especially the roasted figs and prosciutto, fresh salmon tartare, and the mouthwatering, easy Provençal lamb. Garten's vegetable dishes are particularly appealing and varied, including scalloped tomatoes, garlic-roasted cauliflower, and potato basil purée, and her desserts are equally strong, with easy cranberry and apple cake and fleur de sel caramels. Full-color photos accompany each recipe and are enough to send any hungry soul immediately into the kitchen. True to her trademark style, Garten once again shows that delicious food can be prepared with a minimum of fuss, even with guests on the way.

In Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That? Ina proves once again that it doesn’t take complicated techniques, special equipment, or stops at more than one grocery store to make wonderful dishes for your family and friends. Her newest must-have cookbook is all about saving time and avoiding stress while having fun in the kitchen.
These are not recipes with three ingredients thrown together in five minutes; instead home cooks will find fantastic Barefoot Contessa recipes that are easy to make but still have all that deep, delicious flavor Ina is known for—and that makes a meal so satisfying. Think Pink Grapefruit Margaritas served with Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs—two classics with a twist. For lunch, Ina makes everyone’s favorite Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich and Snap Peas with Pancetta. For dinner, try Jeffrey’s Roast Chicken (tried and true!); Steakhouse Steaks, which come out perfectly every time and—with Ina’s easy tip—couldn’t be simpler; or an Easy Parmesan “Risotto” that you throw in the oven instead of stirring endlessly on the stovetop. Finally, Ina’s desserts never disappoint—from Red Velvet Cupcakes to Chocolate Pudding Cream Tart.
To top it all off, Ina also shares her best tips for making cooking really easy. She leaves bowls of lemons and limes on the counter not only because they look great but because they also remind her that a squeeze of lemon in a dish brightens the flavors. She shows us the equipment that makes a difference to her—like sharp knives, the right zester, an extra bowl for her electric mixer—and that can help you in your kitchen, too.
Filled with 225 gorgeous full-color photographs, Barefoot Contessa How Easy is That? is the perfect kitchen companion for busy home cooks who still want fabulous flavor.
Amazing Cookbook This is the best cookbook I have bought in a long time. I am not a great cook, but I can cook. The recipes look amazing and easy to make. I like the layout of the book. The recipes were not crammed onto one page, but take up two pages. Each recipe has a picture....love this. Also the recipes are on pages next to each other. No need to flip the page to see the rest of the recipe.I made the roasted cauliflower last night because I had cauliflower in the house. It was great. I am looking forward to trying the other recipes.There were only a few recipes I do not want to try and that is because I do not eat that type of food. I will definitely buy more cookbooks by Ina Garten.Modern Kitchen Maven Ina Garten's recipes are every bit as good as those of famous chefs of a bygone era. Where Julia Child would spend countless hours and even days in food preparation, the Contessa does it with today's cooks in mind--those who have jobs, families, and a definite lack of household help.Do you recall being told to read the entire recipe before proceeding? Well, do yourself a favor and read the preface before tackling the recipes. Garten explains that keeping a well stocked kitchen is essential. Go grocery shopping right now. She builds her recipes on these items, expecting us to fill in with the perishables as needed. She is true to her word about using standard items. With the exception of a meal using fois gras--for her anniversary--her recipes call for things we usually have on hand.The book takes us from appetizers to desserts. Without overwhelming the reader with dozens of choices, Garten has carefully culled some of her best recipes to include in each chapter. She offers anecdotes and advice, making this book seem almost conversational. She tells us how to use shortcuts to achieve the same flavors and looks of more tedious methods.As a gourmet cook, I am not easily intimidated by the likes of Child, et al. I rank this cookbook easier to use than some of Bon Apetit's recipes. It is for a palate well beyond that of Betty Crocker and it certainly is for someone who is ready to entertain with flair--minus the fuss.Her style makes entertaining fabulous, not frantic. The hostess is supposed to enjoy her company and her recipes help us do just that.Home-cooked doesn't get much easier than this ... This book was loaned to my daughter-in-law when she was going through chemo treatments - I was trying to help where I could and went through this book while there, to see if there was anything that would appeal to her. I have long been a collector of Italian cookbooks and have hundreds --- I actually read them like others read novels, comparing and learning about the regions, the people and the differences in how they differ in their handling of dishes that are familiar to all regions, including the region where my parents immigrated from. When I read through this cookbook (and I DID read through it all), I started to put cut-up "post it" strips to return to recipes that sounded very tempting to try - both simple and uncomplicated. I soon became aware that there were an awful lot of "post it" strips peeking out at the top an I wasn't nearly through the book! I was sure that I wanted it in my cookbook library, in the "Other Than Italian" collection, although there are so many "takes" on traditional Italian dishes, that I might consider it a "hybrid". I would say that it has something for everybody, though I will probably concentrate on the ones that sound familiar to my Italian heritage --- however, when I try the bread pudding on Page 18, instead of using "challah loaf", I am going to substitute my Italian "Panettone"from Italy! For Academy Award Night, or any other movie night with friends, I will be trying the "Truffled Popcorn ---, however, since I don't use microwave popcorn, I will use my stove-top popper, and pour the white truffle butter over when ready ! Looking forward to trying the "Celery (so good for you) & Parmesan Salad (with walnuts)" for Summer parties. I never thought to substitute the pizza dough I use when I make Sausage/Salami Bread --- and use puff pastry instead, to make it look really special for a fancier gathering (page 70). And --- as Ina says on page 71, "Who knew it was so easy to make ricotta?" --- though my mother made it, I wasn't paying attention --- Ina tells "how" on page 74 ---- then you can make the "herbed ricotta buschettas" on Page 73. There is a recipe for those who love cheese and find it acceptable in their diet --- I first tasted "baked cheese" when a guest in a private home in the town in Italy where my parents were from --- since my mother never made it at home, I didn't know how to approach it, but, I watched as others dipped bread into the soft cheese (fresh from the oven to the table), and I did likewise - OMG - heavenly --- I could hardly wait to serve it to my family at our next get-together - a winner ! (I don't know how Ina came up with it, but she nailed it !).Since I'm only on page 98, I will cease to comment on recipes that are "posted" for trying --- instead, I'll list ones that I know I will be trying, without commenting: Page 98: "tuna & hummus sandwiches" / Page 111: "wild rice salad (with grapes and nuts and cranberries) / Page 112: "tarragonpotato salad" / Page 120: "lemon chicken breasts" (one of my staples) / Page 154: "weeknight bolognese" / Page 157: "spaghetti aglio e olio" (my father's favorite --- interestingly enough, Ina mentions "DeCecco" pasta - a company that has been making pasta for over 100 years in the Region of Abruzzi, where my parents are from --- my father also liked to finish off this dish with chopped anchovy sprinkled over.) / Page 173: "garlic-roasted cauliflower" / and Page 182: "creamy parmesan polenta" (if I don't have any homemade chicken stock, I'll usea low sodium Organic chicken broth, found in the Stop and Stop "natural" foods aisle --- I stay away from canned products which are usually loaded with salt (even those marked lower-sodium). My mother added kidney beans to her soft polenta, which was poured onto a wooden board and served from there --- she sometimes made a "mushroom ragu" and poured it over the polenta. Polenta was a "peasant food" and served often in homes of the poor --- the cooktweaked it in some way for variety. Page 191: "warm french lentils" (I think the brown lentils will do). In closing, I didn't mean to go on so long with this review, but, I was so captivated, I didn't know where to stop ! In my humble opinion, this is a great cookbook, and I will be buying again and again, for gifting.
