Already own this wonderful cookbook? You must have a friend of family member who could use a copy!
The Rules:

I love Ina Garten! Her recipes are so amazing and delicate. This would make a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection.
Happy Blogiversary! Can you believe I don’t have a single Ina book?
I love her show but have yet to buy any of Ina’s cookbooks! I am pretty new to this whole blogging thing (I have 11 months before I get to have a blog anniversary!) so hopefully I will have as great an experience as you have over the last year!
