Ina Garten is known as the host of the series “Barefoot Contessa,” but she’s most known for her cookbooks. If you’re looking for recipes and hosting tips, there’s one you need.
“Barefoot Contessa: Foolproof,” which was published in 2012, is packed with so much more than just meal inspiration. It’s the ultimate manual for any dinner or cocktail party.
According to Publisher’s Weekly, “Foolproof” was the top-selling cookbook that year. Garten outlines the way individual recipes can be used to develop a hosting “game plan.”
