Ina Garten Is Releasing a New Cookbook This Fall, 'Simply Ina'
With new episodes of "Be My Guest" also on the way, this is like Christmas for Ina Garten superfans.
This is my kind of breaking news: Ina Garten, host of Barefoot Contessa and Be My Guest With Ina Garten (but you knew that already), just announced she's releasing a new cookbook this October, Simply Ina: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, 2026).
Releasing on October 20, 2026, Simply Ina is a collection of 85 easy and delicious recipes that offer a practical approach to cooking that anyone can pull off at home.
“When I first started cooking, I thought great food had to be hard,” Ina said in a press release, “but I’ve learned that the best dishes are often the simplest. With Simply Ina, I want you to feel completely confident that you can cook something delicious without a fuss and it won’t be just fine, it will be wonderful.”
It's been four years since Ina's last cookbook, and Ina took to Instagram to share the news with her five million friends. "I hope you invite people to dinner, make something really simple, and surround yourself with people you love, because at the end of the day, that's the only thing that really matters."
You can preorder the book now at your favorite retailer, but even better is that you can preorder a signed copy on Ina's website.
