My Works

In 1999, I wrote my first book, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, which was one of the best-selling cookbooks of the year. This book invites readers into my specialty food store and shares the recipes that made it such a success. In 2001, I followed with best-selling Barefoot Contessa Parties! in which I invites readers into my home and share ideas and recipes for having parties that are fun for all, including the host. My follow-up cookbooks, Barefoot Contessa Family Style (2002), Barefoot in Paris (2004), Barefoot Contessa at Home (2006), Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics (2008), Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That? (2010) and Barefoot Contessa Foolproof (2012) all continue my style of cooking with easy, delicious, and foolproof recipes that you can make at home.

After the success of my first two cookbooks, I was approached by the Food Network to host my own television cooking show. I signed to a 13-show season. My show, Barefoot Contessa, premiered in 2002 and received very positive reception.
