Barefoot Contessa Family Style

Description

Years ago, I rushed after work to get to a Crate and Barrel where Ina was doing a book signing for Family Style. I was the last person to make it in the door before they closed. When I got to the table in front of Ina I was legitimately starstruck and could barely squeak out my name for her to personalize the book. Family Style has been a classic in our home ever since.

What I Love About Family Style:

• The recipes are crowd-pleasers that still feel grown-up
• Everything can be scaled up or down easily (I’d say perfect for leftovers, but in a house with three teenage boys, what are leftovers?)
• There are great tips for making things ahead
• There’s even a menu-planning section to help you put an entire meal together

Standout Recipes:

• Chicken Stew with Biscuits (page 90)
• Linguini with Shrimp Scampi (page 106)
• Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes (page 58)

Perfect for:

• Families who want to level up their dinner game
• Anyone who hosts casual gatherings (and wants to enjoy them!)
• People looking for recipes that please both kids and adults
