5 � INA STANS - THIS ONE'S FOR US
“For me, cooking wasn't the goal of entertaining; being with friends was the goal, so I wanted to make easy recipes that anyone could prepare and know their guests would be delighted.�
� It made me feel nostalgic, comforted and HUNGRY
� Filled with tales of summers in the Hamptons, Ina's adorable laughter, a story I wasn't expecting, a vulnerable look into a loving marriage (& Ina at the 1989 Tour?!) (& JEFFREY)
� It made me want to book a trip to Paris, find a local cheese monger, invite a bunch of friends over for a casual but delicious dinner, look up old photos of Ina at the original Barefoot Contessa store
� Search "Paris coffee shop" on YouTube for the perfectly paired reading vibe
� Listen to Unforgettable by Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole after finishing the last page
� If this book was a food/drink, it would be Ina's famous brownies, her famous "engagement chicken" or my favorite recipe of hers, a summer tomato gazpacho
Good for book club - yes! Especially if your book club is filled with foodies
Good as a gift - YES, for any of your food loving besties!
Should I get the physical copy - I personally recommend the audio since Ina narrates it
What season should I read it in - any season!
Audiobook narration - 5/5, Ina's chuckles throughout warmed my heart big time, and every time she says "isn't that fabulous"
