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.

I love all of Ina's books and her recipes are very easy to follow. I enjoy cooking and my boyfriend has liked everything I've made from this book. I plan on getting all of her books one day!

My wife loves this book. She wishes she could meet her. She gives them out as gifts to family members or friends. This one went to my niece who loves to cook and keeps asking my wife for recipes. No need to ask any longer she will be getting one of the best cookbooks out there.

One of maybe 6 or 7 of my Barefoot books and probably my favorite. One of her first books I think, and you can tell much love and attention was put into the details of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013

If you do, or if you don't watch the Barefoot Contessa TV series, you will love this book. But I would say that you must have a deep interest in food. The recipes are not for someone only casually interested in cuisine, nor are they meant for someone who considers hot dogs a gourmet meal. Don't get me wrong; I love hot dogs, but this book has more in-depth and thoughtful recipes, including menu ideas. Ina's recipes are not difficult to follow, however, sometimes people get the idea that the instruction would be too complicated for the average home cook (I know this from the personal experience of giving this book to a friend who loves gourmet restaurant food but thinks she is not capable of preparing it).

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2012

I got this book for my sister who really doesn't like to cook. But the recipes in this book are so easy that she's told me she refers to it all the time. She has a large family so it's perfect for her. I looked through it and liked it also, so I bought three other books from the Contessa. I recommend all her books.

Ina Garten has done it again. Her recipes never fail to product excellent results. All the recipes are easy to follow and the coffee style set up helps a lot with pictures of each dish. Every once and a while she creates a dish with ingredients that are a bit out of my price range but the recipes are still excellent with substitutions. I feel less is more here, all I can say is she is a wonderful cook and with this book...I am too!!
