Barefoot Contessa at Home by
Ina Garten is the third book our Cookbook Club has tried out (previous books were
Smitten Kitchen by
Deb Perelman and
The Pioneer Woman Cooks by
Ree Drummond). While some members of the group preferred the everyday feeling of the meals
Drummond offered in her book, others found
Barefoot Contessa at Home to be their favorite one so far. A few members described the recipes as very Hamptons (where
Garten owns a home), but all the dishes brought were delicious and very few adjustments had to be made, most of the dishes even looked like the pictures (which were excellent). Recipes sampled (and enjoyed) included:
Tomato Feta Salad
Heirloom Tomatoes with Blue Cheese Dressing
Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread
Roasted Shrimp and Orzo
Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup
Cranberry and Orange Scones
Easy Cheese Danish
Lemon Yogurt Cake
Next months book will be:
The Chew: Food, Life, Fun
Copies can be picked up at the reference desk!
Next Meeting:
Sunday, October 11th at 1:00pm
