Contesse aux pieds nus

These positive reviews read like Ina and Jeffery wrote them on their own. The show is ridiculously yuppie upper class menu items. The one recipe my wife and I decided to make (the roasted chicken "historylover" claimed was amazing) tasted terrible and became garbage after tasting. Her snobby attitude projects itself amazingly, even through a television set. Every episode she spends half of it driving in her car buying some sort of "surprise dish for Jeffery", the other half of the episode is split between her actually cooking the bad food and showing off her giant home. Yes we get it, your rich and live rich. This is a the worst show on Food Network. If you want to watch a pretentious upper class snob cook food that would poison your dog, than it's perfect for you. Otherwise watch a chef who cooks food that wouldn't cost you a paycheck to supply the ingredients for. As for the reviewer Historylover, nice try Ina.

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.

I love Ina! She's kind of a snob, but her food always looks excellent! Her house is fabulous and so is the garden! My family and I have made a few recipes and we weren't disappointed. I wonder why the Food Network never includes her in their specials though. I figure she's too good for them! I love that she's not a stick figure too! You can tell she's enjoying life! Her friends seem like they've known her for quite awhile and are always good sports. Some of the things she makes are not very practical, but that's OK. My sisters and I joke about what the perfect meal would be from her, and we always argue because there are so many to choose from!

I love this show. I love the interaction between Ina and her husband Jeffery. They make such a cute couple.I never miss this show (everyday at 5 PM.) :) It's better than watching annoying Rachel or WORSE that Sandra lee & her semi-homemade junk....Ugh... That woman is SO full of herself!! Ina is so refreshing she doesn't need get all dressed up like that Sandra lee woman,like it's a fashion show. Ina's personality & food speak for themselves . I also love the fact that she does the "Dinner party" thing or just a small meal / lunch for herself or a special dinner for Jeffery . It's different.Her food always looks SO Delicious too. I have tried a couple of her dishes & they were easy & fun to make.

This cooking show is outstanding for a variety of reasons.

First and foremost, is Ina Garten. She has such a relaxed speaking voice that you can't not help but feel relaxed. Her entire demeanor is one of a relaxed, good friend. You get the feeling that you're a long time friend of hers & you're simply sitting on a stool in her kitchen & she's talking with you as she prepares her meal.

Her recipes of course are always tantalizing and I always get hungry watching her show.

Her East Hampton home is classy & elegant without being pretentious.

And it's great that she doesn't focus solely on the food but brings in the other elements to fine dining: that being table set-ups, location and of course people! It's fun to see the different locales on her show; whether it's her own back yard, or the beach or a friend's home.

Ina Garten is a class act in this world of crass, kitchy-ness!
