How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsTurned my son into an Ina Garten believer!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019
My son was all judgy about Ina Garten and refused to listen to me when I said her recipes do not fail. After reading the reviews, I chose this cookbook as a Christmas because he and his wife enjoy cooking for small gatherings and entertaining. The first recipe he tried sold him. He's already marked several others he wants to try. Now he's the one telling everyone that Ina's recipes do not fail.

The pages for eight recipes were ripped out yet it was listed as in very good condition?

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like her first book
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2002
Verified Purchase
I love The Barefoot Contessa's first cookbook, and Ina Garten's second book Parties is nice as well. This third book is most disappointing. The recipes are so simple, and who needs a recipe for French toast? and a whole section on kid's recipes. I love her shop in the Hampton's, and some of her recipes are staples in my home. I would not bother with this latest book.

2.0 out of 5 stars I like Ina Garten and her TV show
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2015

I like Ina Garten and her TV show. However, this was not one of her better books. Perhaps because it was one of her earlier ones. It was mainly meat and potato offerings and a lot of butter, cream and fat!! I don't see one recipe that appeals enough for me to make from this book. Very unhealthy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unfit for Giving or Receiving
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2002
Verified Purchase
I had such high hopes for this cookbook, thinking that it would be a perfect holiday gift for several people on my list. After ordering it, however, all I can say is that I'm glad I didn't ship it direct. While beautifully photographed and put together, the book is woefully short on substance. I've found more original recipes in my civic association's monthly newsletter. The whole reason I'm back at Amazon.com today is to find replacement gifts, since I'd be too embarrassed to give this to anyone.

The content is what I expected but the cover and shape of the book wasn't as nice as others I've ordered.

3.0 out of 5 stars and am very disappointed. I am NOT disappointed in the Barefoot Contessa ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
Hello. I received the book yesterday, and am very disappointed. I am NOT disappointed in the Barefoot Contessa and her recipes, I am very disappointed in the condition of the book. I buy a lot of used books but this is the first time I have received one that actually has dried food on a few of the pages and it looks gross. I am tossing the book as I do not want somebody else's garbage in my kitchen. I glanced at the recipes until I came to the dirty pages and put it down. What I saw of the recipes looked good but the condition of the book, like I said is terrible. That is why there are only three stars.
