I love Ina. Her style is just fabulously-easy gourmet cooking in a home kitchen, without 100 fancy ingredients per recipe. She does use good, quality ingredients (and she tells you what NOT to substitute in this book!), but they are nothing you couldn't find at an upscale grocery store (good olive oil-her MUST HAVE, Fleur de sel salt...). This book provides awesome checklists for planning a dinner party - what to do when, advising creating a game plan with times listed to be kept at hand. Another Ina Great!
I was very pleased with the promptness of the shipping and the cost.
Always love Ina's cookbooks. recipes are delicious and the photography is beautiful
