To celebrate, I’m re-sharing my 50 favorite Ina Garten recipes! This isn’t a definitive list, as my favorites fluctuate based on cravings, mood, and season, so consider this a snapshot of my favorites today!
Best of Ina
Ranking Ina’s Books
In the lead up to Ina’s memoir release, I thought it would be fun to revisit Ina’s 13 cookbooks and – as many of you have requested over the years – rank them! Remember, it’s all subjective and honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of Ina’s books you buy!
My Favorite Barefoot Contessa Episodes
Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some of my favorite Barefoot Contessa episodes from Ina’s impressive 22-year reign on Food Network.
Chopped Salad with Spiced Skillet-Roasted Chickpeas
I’ve learned countless tips, tricks, and techniques from Cook’s Illustrated over the years, but for some reason, I rarely end up cooking any of the dishes. After seeing their method for crispy chickpeas for Chopped Salad with Spiced Skillet-Roasted Chickpeas, I knew I had to break that streak!
Best Ina Garten Frozen Desserts: Ice Creams, Granitas, Pies & More
Escape the summer heat with Ina Garten’s array of frozen delights. Whether you’re craving homemade Milk Chocolate Oreo ice cream, simple store-bought “Ice Cream” Sandwiches, or impressive desserts like Raspberry Baked Alaska, Ina has the perfect cool treat for every palate.
Ranking Ina’s Burger Recipes
Today, I’m sharing how each of Ina’s burger recipes stack up. Ina has only four burger recipes, but Laurent Tourondel shared two additional ones on the show, which I’ve included.
Lidey’s Crispy Cauliflower & Chickpea Cakes with Moroccan Spices
These delightful gluten-free treats are bursting with flavor – roasted cauliflower and onions, and chickpeas seasoned with spicy harissa paste, cumin, ginger, and cinnamon.
An Ina-inspired dinner
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Dan Pelosi and Gus Heagerty for dinner! Given our shared love of Ina, it was only appropriate to create a menu featuring some of my favorite Barefoot Contessa recipes!
