Potato salad is one of those dishes everyone thinks they’ve mastered… until you start making Ina’s versions back to back and realize how much range there actually is. Creamy, herby, vinaigrette-heavy, lobster-loaded – some are instant classics, some surprised me, and a few I’d tweak […]
I used to claim I didn’t have much of a sweet tooth, until years of baking Ina Garten desserts proved otherwise. Valentine’s Day has always called for something special, and Ina delivers every time. From elegant French classics to rich chocolate favorites, these desserts guarantee a memorable ending.
Looking for a few more veggies in your life? Ina’s got you covered! From classics like Panzanella (bread salad, yes, please) and Bibb Salad with Basil Green Goddess Dressing to new favorites like Israeli Vegetable Salad and Charlie Bird Farro Salad perfect for get-togethers, she makes a mean bowl of veggies.
2025 was a quieter year at home- more routine, more cooking, and a deeper rhythm in the kitchen. From favorite dishes I made to recipes I developed and the cookbooks that inspired me most, this roundup captures what I cooked, loved, and learned along the way.
Whether it’s simple classics like French Apple Tart and Chocolate Cassis Cake, or showstoppers like Coeur a la Crème with Raspberries and Ile Flottante, or delicious challenges like Soufflé a L’Orange and Mixed Berry Pavlova, Ina, being the Francophile she is, offers plenty of options to choose from!
Check out my favorite recipes for the grill from classic Memorial Day treats like Niman Ranch Burgers with Caramelized Onions and Townline’s BBQ Pork Ribs to new favorites such as Grilled Peaches with Amaretti and Grilled Oysters with Lemon Dill Butter.
2024 was a whirlwind year for us as Alex and I took a huge leap, leaving our home of 15 years in NYC for a new adventure in Portland, Maine. Today, I am sharing all my favorite recipes that got me through 2024 – both the ones I created and the cookbook gems I discovered. Hope they inspire you to get in the kitchen!
2023 was the first full year after completing this project, but that doesn’t mean I was done with Ina! From finishing Go-To Dinners to creating “best-of” list and revisiting old favorites, she still was part of our meals throughout the year. But with fewer Ina recipes I was able to branch out and try a ton of non-Ina recipes and develop a few of my own. Check out this recap of my favorite meals from the year.
