barefoot contessa be an amazing show . she be a perfectionist and her recipe be not always easy and but here the kicker they be always good . many of her recipe have a french flair to them old school cooking . this cooking be not always healthful but in moderation be heavenly . i like ina low key attitude . she speak clearly and intelligibly not run off crazy bird . i would rather spend an hour on a good ina recipe than 45 minute on a bad rachael ray recipe . with that say that be the difference . ina garten be a highly successful career woman with a an amazing ability to cook . her recipe for roast chicken be easy and amaze a favorite at our house . i also very much enjoy her idea on table setting and decor and and party planning . she be a less abrasive version of martha . i be from an old school european family . we love to make beautiful meal . i be teach from an early age to set a beautiful table that you do not scarf down your food you din enjoy it . i know we all have busy life but a return to beautifully prepared meal and great conversation be much more need in today society .
