Review: I have a number of I.G.'s books and love them and I find the recipes work well (unless I make a mistake!). I've ordered this one after close inspection of it at a friend's house. The "translation" of meaurements isn't a problem - I bought a set of plastic Tala measuring cups based on an 8 ounce (240g) cup from my local "pound" shop for under Β£4. They weren't labelled as American but the sizes marked on the handles were correct. When a "stick" or half a stick of butter is asked for I weigh it (a "stick" of butter weighs 1/4lb (4 ounces or 113 grams). Perhaps it's younger cooks who get in a tizzy over this as they have never cooked in pounds and ounces. The knack is to remember that American measuring cups are imperial not metric and standard British measuring cups are metric not imperial and so to forget what you learned at school when cooking "yank" style. A lot has been said on reviews about her excessive use of salt which I agreed with until an American friend put me straight. Apparently "kosher salt", which I.G. uses extensively, is not as "salty" as the table salt available here and doesn't contain additives such as iodine. Because kosher grains occupy more volume (for equal weight) the volume of kosher salt should be increased - it's usually suggested that when using kosher salt you should use double the amount of the table salt you would usuually use. So that lays that complaint to rest. Kosher salt is available on desertcart and Tesco sells it - allbeit in tiny containers. It is expensive though and a reasonable substitute would be coarse-grained sea salt with no additives. I hope this lays to rest some of the panicking about cooking from I.G.'s books that regularly crops up on these reviews. I don't even mind the American ingredients we can't buy in the UK (although it's worth a search on Google). Those bits of the books are still interesting to read and one can dream, can't one? Review: This is a really good book. All the recipes seem simple enough to prepare at home and the instructions are really explicit. The photography in the book is amazing, already made the crab cakes and they came out perfect. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for somewhat classic dishes with a little extra refinement. If your are looking for showstoppers I would recommend you try another one of Ina Garten’s books, this is really more of a compilation of dishes you would find at a European or American deli. In terms of buyer experience, the book arrived really quickly and in perfect condition. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,258 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #556 in Main Courses & Side Dishes #715 in Regional & International Food #6,753 in Crafts, Hobbies & Home | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,820) | | Dimensions | 19.76 x 2.44 x 26.21 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0609602195 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0609602195 | | Item weight | 1.06 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | 6 April 1999 | | Publisher | Clarkson Potter | ## Images ![The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vjG7aUdBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***A on 16 May 2012* I have a number of I.G.'s books and love them and I find the recipes work well (unless I make a mistake!).
