    Notes about Recipes in this Book

    • Salmon with lentils

      • jaelsne on August 17, 2010

        Delicious

    • Endive, pear and Roquefort salad

      • Julia on June 16, 2011

        Easy and delish! Nice presentation.

    • Goat cheese tart

      • MVitek on June 03, 2011

        Very good filling but use the Once Upon a Tart savory tart crust recipe for the pastry.

    • Moroccan couscous

      • austin.brandon on August 24, 2011

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        Delicious side wish combo of starch and veggies. The roasting took close to 45 minutes but the dish came together very easily.

    • Plum raspberry crumble

      • austin.brandon on September 07, 2011

    • Eggplant gratin

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        This was very tasty, sort of provencal with a creamy edge. I would increase the tomato a little and decrease the custard a little.

    • Zucchini vichyssoise

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        Good simple soup but don't freeze as it has way too much potato

    • Fennel salad

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        The flavour was a bit flat so you added bit of white wine vinegar. Over all just so so

    • Loin of pork with green peppercorns

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        Absolutely fabulous sauce and a delicious and simple roast. Quite an easy dish to put together also. You might want to go a tiny bit lighter on the salt in the sauce.

    • Zucchini gratin

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        The flavour of this was great, with a nice oniony bite and delicious zucchini that retain some texture. You pureed the onion to please Jinny so it wasn't too chunky, which impacted the texture a bit. Don't do this in future.

    • Roasted beets

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        This was great, nice tang to cut the sweetness of the beets. The orange and thyme were a great touch, and the roating actually gave a nice crunch. I ended up roasting for closer to 50 minutes. Spencer isn't a big fan of beets so this wasn't a huge hit for him.

    • Brussels sprouts lardons

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        Simple but if you like brussel sprouts you will love this. Crank the heat at end to finalize the caramelization.

    • Cauliflower gratin

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        She is right that the cheese béchamel really turns this dish into a treat. The presentation is only so so because of the extensive white.

    • French string beans (haricots verts)

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        Good flavour and super simple. You can cut the onions and peppers to large dice as the roasting will make them manageable

    • Herbed new potatoes

      • Delys77 on October 26, 2011

        Great little potatoes were essentially no work and made a perfect side dish.

    • Salad with warm goat cheese

      • Delys77 on October 31, 2011

        The croutons are just the right blend of richness and tang

    • Green salad vinaigrette

      • Delys77 on May 14, 2012

        Pg. 102 The major difference between my typical vinaigrette and this recipe is that Ina suggests you add an extra large egg yolk. I did so and I did note that this adds a touch of richness to the vinaigrette which offsets the acidity of the white wine vinegar. I'm not sure however that this added richness is to my taste, I might simply stick to a simpler vinaigrette that excludes the egg.

    • Matchstick potatoes

      • Lisa Is Cooking

        After tasting them, the time it took to make them and the mess from frying didn’t matter anymore. They were pure, crispy goodness and with truffle oil were beyond words.

    In her latest cookbook, Ina reinvents the classics of French cuisine, looking to her favorite spots in Paris to inspire an all-new collection of easy-to-prepare bistro fare you really can make at home. Readers come to her for dishes that are simple to make, look absolutely gorgeous, and have that unmistakable wow! factor that makes the cook a star every time she serves them.
