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.
