Confession: given the option, I will happily sit down and watch as many episodes of The Barefoot Contessa as can fit on my DVR. I was so excited to hear that Ina Garten was coming out with another cookbook, Barefoot Contessa: Foolproof ($35), just in time for the Holidays. I would love to surprise my friends with an elegant dinner instead of pizza for our next get together!  — Robert Khederian, fashion editorial assistant
