Contesse aux pieds nus

Ina Garden rocks her cooking is simple,tasty,and fun to make. I love making her deserts it's really easy. She talks the talks and walks the walks. I mean some other cooking shows the ingredients are really hard to find. But Ina recipes are easy and great. I mean her famous roast chicken are really tasty. I bought her book about 2 weeks ago and the recipes are easy. In her show I sometimes like to cook along with her. And I love cooking, Ina's show makes a big difference for new people who are trying to cook. Watch this show and love it. It has great ideas of cooking and you might learn something new. Like I learned a new way of how to set the table..................laugh out loud. But the point is she is a great host a chef and her cooking is of the hook.

Ina Garten is one of my favorite shows, even in daily re-runs. Her casual upscale style, friendly demeanor, and authenticity is what attracts me as both a viewer and a student. I have learned so much from her since very the first episode from roasting root vegetables, to adding coffee to chocolate. Her recipes are simple, delicious, and elegant all at the same time. It's also fun to meet Ina's East Hampton friends, and get a peek into their lives. Barefoot Contessa not only teaches cooking, it's a pleasant, rich visual course in gardening, floral décor, table scape, cocktails, and entertaining. I am looking forward to her 2015 Thanksgiving special with Bobby Flay, and hopefully THIS year, Ina will be able to get 4 words in without Giada interrupting her.

I grew up watching Ina. She inspired me to learn to cook. For the past 15 years I've mastered her recipes and her entertaining techniques. I've thrown countless dinner parties; always following her table setting, flower arranging and seating advice. People are always impressed and I've even gotten jobs because of it. I love to entertain and I owe it all to Ina.

To the people who say she's snobby or too rich. I get it. Yes she often wears a Cartier watch and an Hermès bracelet when cooking, and yes her recipes can be a bit expensive and over the top. However, you're watching a show about a women living in the Hamptons, cooking and entertaining with her gay friends. What exactly did you expect? Also, the fact she's rich shouldn't take away from the fact she is an amazing cook with great easy to follow recipes. Not to mention she has like 11 Emmy's. Stay in your semi-homemade lane, and keep cooking your uninspired Sandra Lee recipes.

Barefoot Contessa is an amazing show. She is a perfectionist and her recipes are not always easy, but here's the kicker "they are always good". Many of her recipes have a French flair to them - old school cooking. This cooking is not always healthful - but in moderation is heavenly.

I like Ina's low key attitude. She speaks clearly and intelligibly - not running off crazy bird. I would rather spend an hour on a good Ina recipe than 45 minutes on a bad Rachael Ray recipe. With that said - that is the difference.

Ina Garten is a highly successful career woman - with a an amazing ability to cook. Her recipe for Roast Chicken is easy and amazing a favorite at our house. I also very much enjoy her ideas on table settings, decor, and party planning. She is a less abrasive version of Martha.

I am from an old school European family. We love to make beautiful meals. I was taught from an early age to set a beautiful table - that you did not scarf down your food - you dined - enjoyed it. I know we all have busy lives but a return to beautifully prepared meals and great conversation is much more needed in today's society.

I love Ina, I have all her books, I love her recipes, her home, her life - she is blessed and talented. She does tend to overuse certain words and phrases such as "...for a little heat," "...just give it a rough chop." and I would like to play a drinking game for every time she says "fabulous."
