She actually printed a recipe for frozen berries with hot chocolate sauce in her cookbook late 2006, "Barefoot Contessa at Home". The recipe is a direct rip-off from a recipe that first appeared in the Delia Smith Magazine for J Sainsbury in the late 1990's. It's a classic recipe. Delia Smith is a well-known English television chef. That’s not all she stole.

If this is all it takes to get a cookbook out and get big $$'s then I may go for it. Dont get me wrong I do like Ina's receipes and have made several of them and have her books too.

That is the only chocolate cake most people ever made. When I saw her make it on her show and her claim about it being Michael's granmother's I about fell over. I have a Pa Dutch Recipe cookbook that it is in and I knew few people that didn't know that recipe by heart. And, the other recipe she made that blew me out of the water was her spaghetti sauce with crushed tomatoes, paste...it is exactly like the recipe my mother taught me over 30 years ago and she learned it from an Italian woman whom she lived next door to in the 1940's...SO, are these claims by Ina true...not when you have so many people recognizing recipes. I am sorry, but I put my twist on things almost everytime I cook. And, I have bought some of Paula Deen's books, but no more. This past Christmas, when I read one recipe and it made no sense and then I tried it and realized it was senseless and had to reform it for it to come out right...I realized then how little they proof read what they put out there. They are money making machines...every single one of them...I think Paula may have more heart then the rest of them, but they all are in it for the same reason... to make themselves richer. Good for them for success, but no more will they pad their coffers at my expense.

It's very possible that his grandmother got it from that. Then again, the comment someone wrote about how it describes it in the book sounds like TOTAL bs. Sigh.
