You can tell the holiday shopping season is approaching by the number of things becoming available for pre-order.
One thing that is sure to be a hit this season is the latest offering from Ina Garten aka the Barefoot Contessa. Her new book, Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: How To Get Great Flavors From Simple Ingredients, will be available for sale on Oct. 28, 2008. Not a bad idea for a holiday gift for that person that adores cookbooks or even yourself.
When it comes to fabulous dishes made from simple ingredients, Ina Garten has it down pat. I adore watching her show on the Food Network and think that some of her tips have definitely helped me with my cooking prowess over the years. You know I’ll be having this shipped to me as soon as it’s available.
