This book is full of glorious color pictures and fun anecdotes from Ina. Recipes span the realms of comfort food - from Mashed Yellow Turnips with Crispy Shallots to Buffalo Chicken Wings to Homeade Marshmallows. She sprinkles that with elegant selections such as Smoked Salmon Frittata, Endive, Stilton and Walnuts and Espresso Ice Cream. She keeps each recipe easy and stress free - because it is clear that being with her family and friends is tops!!
