Barefoot Contessa, how easy is that? / Ina Garten 256 p.

I read most of this, but not each word of each recipe - so I'll take credit for 150 pages. My first exposure to the Barefoot Contessa, this was a well-written and designed cookbook, I thought. The recipes were slanted toward French cuisine, of a manageable (if not low-calorie) variety. I made the roasted artichoke hearts from frozen artichokes as instructed, and they were yummy. Quite a few product placements, some for products which I don't love.
