It’s hard to imagine anyone being offended by Meghan Markle’s sweet and polished lifestyle series, but of course they will be.

Meghan Markle’s Netflix lifestyle show is a pretty Ina Garten-esque diversion.

Can you even talk about Meghan’s perfectly nice and unchallenging hostess show without getting engulfed by Sussex press drama?

Many an indignant headline has been written about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s pivot from frontline British royals to modern celebrities in the Hollywood bubble. The unprecedented decision to leave behind the duties of monarchy in favor of becoming regular rich and famous people with jobs has been, if nothing else, a fascinating moment in our cultural history. The Sussexes have seemingly struggled to find a foothold in being a brand, with podcasts and books offering mixed results. In fairness, establishing a new identity in the midst of ceaseless press harassment and some straight-up bigoted commentary is undoubtedly tough.

A surprisingly clever riff on a familiar recipe, Prime Video’s “House of Spoils” seems like a dark fairy tale you could make better yourself — at first. Part “The Bear” and part “The Witch,” this supernatural horror outing follows a nameless Chef (Ariana DeBose) in an allegory about ambitious women that lacks bite but isn’t without its own special sauce.

Writer/directors Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy broke out with their tenacious crime thriller “Blow the Man Down” in 2019 and show a well-earned confidence in this imperfect but still occasionally enchanting first-time genre effort. The duo’s second feature builds on a bare-bones concept that feels more rudimentary than rustic much of the time, and yet, the filmmakers’ decisive presentation is enjoyable enough as an entrée served straight to streaming.

Martha Stewart and Ina Garten are making headlines.

The pair go way back, as two women who took the cooking and hosting worlds by storm in the 1990s. While Ina was working and living in the Hamptons, Martha purchased a home there in 1990. Later that year, Martha‘s magazine published its first ever copy, and included a write up on Ina, who was a local fan fave at the time.

Years later, Martha‘s production company ended up getting Ina a Food Network show. The show didn’t pan out, and Ina instead ended up on the Food Network in the early 2000s, hosting her show, the Barefoot Contessa.

In a new profile for the New Yorker, Ina recalled how she and Martha eventually lost touch.

Celebrity chef Ina Garten has opened up about the physical and emotional abuse she suffered from her late parents, Charles and Florence Rosenberg, in her new memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens. Speaking with People ahead of the book’s release on October 1, Garten confessed to being “terrified” of her father when growing up. “I was physically afraid of my dad,” she said. “I literally remember thinking he would kill me if I did something. I was physically afraid of him. And my mother just was unsupportive.” Born in Brooklyn, New York, Garten moved with her family to Stamford, Connecticut, where she grew up with her older brother, Ken, who was also a victim of their father’s abuse. Reflecting on her childhood, the Barefoot Contessa host revealed she spent most of her time locked up in her bedroom. “If there’s a threat of violence, you’re always afraid,...

Appearing on the latest episode of Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘ podcast, Wiser Than Me, the Food Network star revealed it was her decision not to have kids, noting that Jeffrey “would have been a great parent.” “I think Jeffrey would have been a great parent. He would have really loved having children,” Ina told the Seinfeld star, per People. “But he wanted me to be happy, and it was okay with him.” Ina added, “I had no interest in having children. None. I just had a terrible childhood, and it was nothing I wanted to recreate.” The famous cook and author said she doesn’t have any regrets about her choice, but said that seeing her friends with their children, “I understand what it could be.

In Food Network’s newest bake-off, winners get to have their cake and eat it, too. Or perhaps more accurately, viewers will be able to eat it.

Hosted by “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro, the newly ordered baking competition series will test not only contestants’ oven skills, but their business savvy as well. “Bake You Rich” lets four entrepreneurial pastry chefs face off for the chance to have one of their custom-made creations sold to the public on the Carlo’s Bakery website, per the popular cable channel.

“Late Night With Seth Meyers” took a day trip Wednesday night, which featured the drunk adventures of host Seth Meyers and his friend Ina Garten aka “The Barefoot Contessa.”

Meyers took the Food Network star and famous Hamptons resident to the Corner Bistro in Manhattan to spend an afternoon sipping cocktails. Ok, more than just sipping. They even concocted a few of their own — though Ina’s turned out much prettier (and probably tastier) than Seth’s.

When they weren’t drinking, which is really what they do throughout the majority of the nearly 10-minute segment, they were taste testing fast food sauces vs. Garten’s own gourmet recipes, challenging her ability to match bare feet to the celebrities they belong to, and doing “chef-pressions” of her famous co-workers like Gordon Ramsay and Emeril Lagasse.

Seth Meyers is living your wildest dreams: drinking with Ina Garten. The Late Night host took the Barefoot Contessa star out for an afternoon of day drinking in New York City, where they made Garten's drink recipes (without the proper tools) and forced each other to drink the other's concoctions. It was a revealing afternoon, Garten revealed fresh whiskey sours are her favorite cocktails (even if Meyers ruined it). Marvel at how Meyers couldn't find his mark and nail his lines after several cocktail before they get some food in them, including fries. But this wasn't just a normal plate of French fries, Garten had a test for Meyers: the Barefoot Contessa mustard and horseradish dip vs. the horsey dip...

Jennifer Garner has found her second calling.

It's no secret that the 45-year-old actress is a big fan of Barefoot Contessa star Ina Garten, and on Wednesday, she paid tribute to her with a cooking video of herself making Garten's recipe for honey white bread. Wearing a festive plaid shirt and an apron, Garner obviously had fun making her "pretend cooking show."

"I'm far from an expert, but if you want to make your family happy over and over again, this is one recipe that if you get it down, you can do anything with it, by Ina," she says, before hilariously kissing the cookbook. "Love you, Ina."

Jennifer Garner leaves no room for error when it comes to holiday prep.  E! News chatted with the A-lister at the premiere of her new film, The Tribes of Palos Verdes, where she revealed her recipe to a perfect Thanksgiving gathering is inspired by the one and only Ina Garten.  Garner said she follows the Food Network star's step-by-step instructions, which includes making lists, lists and more lists. "I've got to get my timeline written out, à la Barefoot Contessa," Jen said, referencing Garten's super popular lifestyle show. "She really asks you to make out a timeline what needs to happen when." That timeline includes noting, Garner added,...

Jennifer Garner may be an A-lister, but she still gets starstruck.

I am starstruck...I heard this woman play the saxophone the other day, she was so amazing. I couldn't look at her after. Just anyone who can do something that you can't do."

Anthony Bourdain has been known not to mince words when it comes to his opinions of fellow famous foodies (Rachael Ray, Adam Richman, Sandra Lee and Guy Fieri to name a few). However, there is one celebrity chef that, deep down, he respects. Her name is Ina Garten. In 2015, some may recall he shot down any future invitation to stay at the Barefoot Contessa's abode. "I don't want to live in her house. I don't want to spend a weekend there," he told Atlanta Magazine at the time. "It gets weird in Ina Land…'Oh, when Jeffrey gets home, he'll be so happy I made meatloaf.' And then he comes home and you're pretty sure he's not into...

Anthony Bourdain has had this fair share of beef with other notable chefs—but there is one culinary star he holds to a high standard, no matter what he’s said about her in the past.

In a new interview with Refinery 29, the site asked Bourdain if there’s anyone he thinks gets it right, and “after a long pause,” he professed his affection for Ina Garten.

“I’ll make a little fun of her now and then, it’s very perfect in Ina World, scarily so,” he said, but “what she cooks on TV is legit and instructive. If you do as Ina does,...

Ina Garten has many favorite things (truffle butter, French apple tarts, and her husband Jeffrey, for starters)—but her own cooking show is not one of them.

“I never watch cooking shows, certainly not mine,” the Barefoot Contessa star tells People in the new Food Faves issue, on newsstands Friday. “Not a chance. I would never do another show. I think I’m terrible!”

“I’m glad other people like it, that’s all I can say,” she added. And like it, they certainly do. After 15 years on the Food Network, Garten credits her success to her tried-and-true recipes and unwavering support from Jeffrey.

“It’s such a basic, comfort dinner and it’s so delicious and so easy to make,” the Barefoot Contessa star says of her “most requested” recipe.

Ina Garten’s Perfect Roast Chicken

1 (5 to 6 lb.) roasting chicken

Kosher salt

Ground black pepper

1 large bunch fresh thyme

1 lemon, halved

1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise

2 tbsp. butter, melted

1 Spanish onion, thickly sliced

1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade

2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

1. Preheat the oven to 425°.

2. Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.

As two of the most popular food stars on television, you might think there would be a little friendly competition between Ina Garten and Martha Stewart, when in fact, they’ve actually been supporting each other since day one.

When Garten stopped by Michael Ian Black’s podcast How to Be Amazing, he asked the Food Network star how Stewart came to write the foreword for her first book, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. “It seems like at the time you would have been rivals of some sort,” he says, “or was it always just, ‘We’re in the same business and we’re buddies?...

There’s nothing quite like making a perfect roast chicken while jamming out to Taylor Swift‘s “Blank Space”—at least if you’re Ina Garten.

The chef and the pop star have become good friends since Swift joined Garten at her home in East Hampton, N.Y. for a Food Network Magazine photo shoot in 2014. “I adore Taylor,...

Leave it to Ina Garten and her expertise to save you from a kitchen disaster — this time offering up a simple, crowd-pleasing guacamole recipe that you can whip up for those last-minute summer guests.

The Barefoot Contessa host shared her personal guac tips with her 1.2 million Instagram followers Thursday, suggesting plenty of citrus as her key ingredient. But while most recipes have a zip of lime juice, Garten opts for something a little different.

“Can you ever make too much guacamole??” she captioned the video. “My secret is lots of freshly squeezed lemon juice to keep the guacamole bright green.

Ina Garten is showing off her 4th of July spirit ahead of the upcoming holiday weekend.

The Barefoot Contessa host shared a time lapse video, making her classic flag cake, which features fresh blueberries, raspberries and lots of vanilla icing.

Ina Garten is constantly testing out new recipes for cookbooks like her latest, Cooking for Jeffrey, but there is one meal that remains constant.

“I’ve had the same thing for breakfast every single day for ten years: coffee and McCann’s quick-cooking Irish oatmeal,” the Barefoot Contessa star tells Bon Appetit for their “Grocery List” series. Garten says she adds “lots of salt” because “I don’t want it to taste like wallpaper paste.”

Other staples in the Garten household include “a bowl of lemons on the counter (and other citrus), butter, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and chocolate,” she says.

Though it’s no competition for her love for her husband Jeffrey, Ina Garten has long adored Paris. After first visiting the French capital decades ago, the Food Network star purchased a pied-a-terre in the 7th Arrondissement in 2000 and often escapes her main home in East Hampton, NY for holidays and vacations there.

Throughout her travels, Ina is constantly posting about her favorite restaurants and Parisian destinations on Instagram. Her “first stop” on a recent trip was to Poilâne bakery for some fresh baked bread. The quaint shop is a spot she visits often—like on Christmas Eve last year...

Ina Garten says not having a child with her husband of 48 years, Jeffrey, was a deliberate choice.

The 69-year-old Food Network star opened up about their relationship during her recent appearance on the Katie Couric Podcast, including the reason they decided to not have children.

"I really appreciate that other people do, and we will always have friends that have children that we are close to, but it was a choice I made very early," Garten says. "I really felt -- I feel -- that I would have never been able to have the life I've had. And so it's a choice, and that was the choice I made."

Ina Garten appears to live the quiet, beach-side life we all dream of having. In reality, though, her unconventional path to success (she started out as a nuclear budget analyst in the White House, Fyi) was built on incredibly hard work, a vigilant passion for cooking, and the support of her beloved husband, Jeffrey.

As part of the promotional tour for her latest cookbook, Cooking for Jeffrey — casually the top-selling cookbook of 2016, even though it only came out in October — I sat down with the Barefoot Contessa for an on-stage interview at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theater.

No one can hawk a cookbook quite like Ina Garten.

Jan. 25, 2002: A Walk to Remember (15 Years)

While fans are crying over Mandy Moore’s Golden Globe-nominated performance on NBC’s hit new series This Is Us, it was just 15 years ago that they cried over her performance in the weepy adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ book about a girl with cancer who falls in love with a rebellious classmate.

Despite his recent claim that he’s “like, a smart person,” Seth Meyers has his doubts about Donald Trump. For starters, the president-elect recently asserted that he won the electoral college in a landslide, a claim that numbers simply don’t support.

The Late Night host delved into the statistics on Monday, which prove that Trump’s margin of victory ranks only 46th widest out of 58 presidential elections. To put that into perspective, Meyers turned to a metric TVLine readers can easily comprehend.

Ayesha Curry’s whirlwind year just keeps getting better.

The wife of two-time NBA Mvp and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has made a name for herself in the food and cooking world in a relatively short period of time -- and her quick ascension is no fluke. At 27, Curry already has a best-selling cookbook, The Seasoned Life; opened up a successful pop-up restaurant in San Francisco; and hosts her own Food Network show, Ayesha’s Homemade.

So hectic has the past year been that the breadth of what she’s accomplished professionally while juggling responsibilities as a wife and mother to two young daughters, 4-year-old Riley and 1-year-old Ryan, has yet to fully hit her. Not yet, anyway.

The Barefoot Contessa star -- and former White House budget analyst -- returns to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in an upcoming Food Network special, where she'll have tea with first lady Michelle Obama.

"I have to say that for me, and everybody that I know, we're going to miss you deeply," Garten tells Obama in a clip from the special. "I know it's going to be wonderful for you. You're going to something extraordinary going forward."

"I'm going to come and eat at your house, so don't be surprised," Obama jokes.

"Good! I'm going to cook for you!" Garten excitedly replies. "I do hope you and the president are going on a really long, really romantic vacation."

"I'm counting on it too!" the first lady agrees. "Where is he? Get it planned...

Ina Garten and First Lady Michelle Obama became the ultimate #ladieswholunch when they filmed an episode of Barefoot Contessa in the White House on October 5.

In the first released clip from the upcoming one-hour special, Barefoot in Washington, Garten and Obama discuss life after the presidency while sipping on tea in the State Dining Room.

“I know it’s going to be wonderful for you. You’re going to do something extraordinary going forward,” Garten tells Obama.

Sharing a sentiment with anyone who has ever watched Garten cook, Obama quipped back: “Yeah, I’m going to come and eat at your house!

Ina Garten may be the star of her Food Network show Barefoot Contessa, but her husband Jeffrey is a popular supporting character.

“He’s so much more popular than I am!” says Ina, who is featured in the lasted issue of People, on stands now.

Over the show’s 23 seasons, Jeffrey has indeed acquired quite a fanbase of his own. “There are times when I’m at the airport and I’m sitting having a meal or a snack alone and I look up and suddenly I’m surrounded by people,” he says. “They want me to sign their napkin,...

Though Ina Garten is now on her 24th season of her hit Food Network show Barefoot Contessa, she was more than skeptical about the endeavor at first.

The cable network, however, saw her star power. “They kept saying, ‘No, you’d be really great,’ and I’m like ‘Lose my phone number,'” she laughs.

When it came to developing recipes for her new cookbook, Ina Garten obviously had her husband, Jeffrey, in mind — it is called Cooking for Jeffrey, after all.

“I tried to think of things that he would particularly like,” says Garten, who is featured in this week’s issue of People, on newsstands now. Since his favorite food is “all kinds of roast chicken,” she gave her tried and true recipe an update, surrounding it with simple roasted radishes.

The Barefoot Contessa host says the dish was inspired by her travels. “I was invited to a dinner party in Paris and...

Ina Garten and Taylor Swift may seem to have an unlikely friendship, but it’s built on mutual fandom and a mutual love of food.

“I adore Taylor, and I admire her enormously,” says Garten, who is featured in the new issue of People, on newsstands Friday.

The pair was introduced through model Lily Aldridge — a member of Swift’s squad and fan of Garten’s who raved about her mustard-roasted fish — which led to the Barefoot Contessa host giving the pop star a personal cooking lesson in her home in East Hampton, NY. “I was so flattered that she chose to work with me,...
