# 1 BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIME
Ina Garten has lived and worked in East Hampton for many years and has hosted and attended countless parties and dinners. However, he is the first to say that nothing beats a pleasant evening surrounded by the people you love most, in the comfort that only your own home can offer. At Contessa Barefoot House, Ina talks about her life in East Hampton, the recipes she loves and the secrets that make guests feel welcome and comfortable.
Ina’s friends and family congregate at the dining table or cook with her in the kitchen — which really makes her home. Here, Ina offers recipes that she tests over and over again because they are simple, functional, and loved by everyone. For a light Sunday breakfast, Easy Cheese Dies or Breakfast Fruit Crunch with the perfect spicy bloody Mary is served. For dinner, it has classics on top of each other like tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto paninis and old-fashioned potato salads that are simply delicious. There are Ina’s homemade dinners — from her own version of pork with fennel sauce to the exotic flavors of El’s Asian salmon. And because Ina knows no one will ever forget after serving dessert, she includes recipes for extremely lush sweets such as peach and blueberry flavors, pumpkin foam perfumes, and peanut butter chocolate cakes.
