What can we say? When we found out Ina Garten’s eleventh book was out, we started dreaming of the dinner parties we’d throw and holiday meals we’d serve to raves and praise. In her latest cookbook, Cook Like a Pro, Ina takes all the intimidation out of entertaining. Like all of her books for home cooks, Ina’s recipes are simple, straightforward, and streamlined. The special sauce here is that Ina uses her decades of experience working with professional chefs to help you up your own cooking game. Pro tips abound. What’s the cumulative effect of doable delicious recipes featuring dozens upon dozens of practical cooking tips from one of America’s most beloved cookbook authors? Confidence. You don’t have to be a pro to cook like one.
