Ina Garten, who shared her gift for casual entertaining in the bestselling Barefoot Contessa Cookbook and Barefoot Contessa Parties!, is back with her most enticing recipes yet—a collection of her favorite dishes for everyday cooking. In Barefoot Contessa Family Style, Ina explains that sharing our lives and tables with those we love is too essential to be saved just for special occasions—and it’s easy to do if you know how to cook irresistible meals with a minimum of fuss.
For Ina, the best way to make guests feel at home is to serve them food that’s as unpretentious as it is delicious. So in her new book, she’s collected the recipes that please her friends and family most—dishes like East Hampton Clam Chowder, Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, and Linguine with Shrimp Scampi. It’s the kind of fresh, accessible food that’s meant to be passed around the table in big bowls or platters and enjoyed with warm conversation and laughter.
In Ina’s hands tried-and-true dishes are even more delicious than you remember them: Her arugula salad is bright with the flavors of lemon and Parmesan, the Oven-Fried Chicken is crispy without excess fat, and her Deep-Dish Apple Pie has the perfect balance of fruit and spice. Barefoot Contessa Family Style also includes enticing recipes that are memorable and distinctive, like Lobster Cobb Salad, Tequila Lime Chicken, and Saffron Risotto with Butternut Squash.
With vivid photographs of Ina cooking and serving food in her beautiful Hamptons home, as well as menu suggestions, practical wisdom on what to do when disaster strikes in the kitchen, and tips on creating an inviting ambience with music, Barefoot Contessa Family Style is the must-have guide to the joy of everyday entertaining.

Do you want to try canning but do not know where to start? Does the entire process seem time-consuming, costly, and storage prohibitive? Do you miss your mother or grandmother’s jam but know you could never eat all of the sweet stuff that one recipe makes? This book, the first in a series, is for you! Nano-Canning is a term I came up with to explain preserving summer’s bounty in very small batches, generally two 8 ounce jars at a time. This book offers tried and true recipes on a smaller scale than normal. Classic Pectin, No Pectin, Low Sugar, No Sugar, and High Altitude instructions are included! If you are new to canning, the full color picture glossary shows you what equipment is required as well as how to prepare fruit and what certain parts of the process look like.
*Nano canning is a great way to introduce children to canning and preserving. The small amounts and shorter timeframes make nano-canning an ideal craft project for some children with shorter attention spans.
**This book is best viewed on devices that utilize Kindle Format 8 or higher such as the Kindle Fire, iPad, and PC/MAC.
