#1NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER •Cook with confidence no matter how much experience you have in the kitchen with the help of the beloved Food Network star
“Garten has kicked things up a level, this time encouraging readers to try more ambitious recipes that are still signature Ina: warm, comforting, homey.”—Chicago Tribune
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYThe New York Times Book Review•Food Network•Food & Wine•PopSugar•The Atlanta Journal-Constitution•Country Living•The Feast•Eater•The Kitchn•Delish
In this collection of foolproof recipes, Ina brings readers’ cooking know-how to the next level by answering questions, teaching techniques, and explaining her process right in the margin of each recipe—it’s as if she’s in the kitchen by your side guiding you through the recipe. When you make her Cauliflower Toasts with prosciutto and Gruyère, she shows you the best way to cut a cauliflower into perfect florets without getting them all over the kitchen (from the stem end, with the head turned upside-down!) and when making her Red Wine–Braised Short Ribs, Ina shares a fantastic tip for keeping your stovetop clean (roast the short ribs in the oven rather than browning them in a pan on the stove!). You’ll discover dozens more ingenious tips and shortcuts throughout, such as how to set up an elegant home bar, how to peel two heads of garlic quickly, how to use a paring knife to create a pro-worthy pattern on her decadent Chocolate Chevron Cake, and the key to making unbelievably creamy Truffled Scrambled Eggs (add the eggs to the skillet before the butter melts—who knew?!).
Both beginners and advanced cooks will love this book filled with new dishes that will become part of your repertoire and practical cooking advice that will give you more confidence in the kitchen. Your friends and family will be so impressed!

It’s my favorite time of year: holiday gift guide time! This special time of year is dedicated to the cultivation of increasingly specific search terms (“runner” + “tech” + “gifts” + “2018,” just as a totally made up example having nothing to do with my husband at all), the waiting for YouTube’s Vlogmas to start, […]

Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering
Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics is the essential Ina Garten cookbook, focusing on the techniques behind her elegant food and easy entertaining style, and offering nearly a hundred brand-new recipes that will become trusted favorites.
Ina loves her All-Clad stainless steel cookware and has had some of her All-Clad pans for over 40 years. She loves that it cooks food evenly, keeps the heat and is easy to clean.
Not just any old oatmeal will do when it comes to the Barefoot Contessa. "I've had the same thing for breakfast every single day for ten years: coffee and McCann's quick-cooking Irish oatmeal," Garten told Bon Appétit in a 2017 article. And her love of the stuff is well-documented.
Garten ran the Barefoot Contessa store for 18 years — eventually moving it from Westhampton Beach to a bigger location in East Hampton — before she sold it to two of her employees in 1996. Three years later, Garten published her first cookbook with recipes from her store. Then, Food Network came calling.
Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. Ina's gift is to make everything look easy, yet all her accomplishments have been the result of hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail.
She's been using the same brand of olive oil for at least 20 years. Garten lists "good olive oil" in many of her recipes — from her updated take on a classic chicken marbella to her tomato and eggplant soup. But the oil she truly prefers to use is Olio Santo's cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, she told Bon Appétit.
No table is complete without flatware, and Garten's silverware of choice is a brand called Chambly; she shared on Instagram that she uses it daily! However, if you can't afford the higher-priced version, there's no reason to fret: It's just plain flatware.
The All-Clad brand of pots and pans is prominently featured in Garten's work, from her TV appearances to her website's cookware shop. The queen of cuisine is drawn to the brand's versatility and high-quality material, keying in on its longevity.
I really learned how to cook by working my way through every recipe in both volumes of Julia Child's The Art of French Cooking. You worked at the White House in the 1970s.
