Barefoot Contessa Family Style: Easy Ideas and Recipes That Make Everyone Feel Like Family
By Ina Garten
Clarkson Potter - 2002
This is a great recipe for chicken wings. It is a very easy and delicious recipe. The sauce is buttery and spicy, and they are broiled instead of fried. I used blue cheese for the dip.

This is a simple appetizer to make, but forming the 30 to 40 balls of spinach takes time and patience. The only ingredient that I didn't like was the margarine,but when this recipe aired on TV they said it didn't work well with butter. The recipe is still worth making.

When I made this recipe, I roasted the chicken instead of poaching it. The sauce is made with the flavors of Mexico, chiles,cilantro,pumpkin seeds, etc. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

I reduced the cheddar from 8 ounces to 6 ounces and it's still a very rich soup. I also substituted baked potatoes for the mashed potatoes. All in all a very good soup.

The filling is easy to make, but preparing the pepperoncini and pipping the mixture into each one is tedious. They are worth the trouble, but only if you have the time and patience.

A gourmet version of "pigs in a blanket". You can use any kind of thin fresh sausage and store bought puff pastry and it would be delicious.

Another member had problems with this recipe, but I loved it. I have made this recipe many times and it always came out perfect. My cooking time was about 40 to 45 minutes. The combination of fruit was also a winner but sometimes I leave the figs out.

This is one of the Christmas cookies that I make every year. I make two recipes that yield over one hundred cookies. This is a very labor intensive cookie, but they are really worth it. The crescents are very soft and fragile and they melt in your mouth. These sweet buttery morsels disappear in a flash.
