Bobby Flay has invited two of his most elegant friends to the arena for a classic dinner battle: the Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten, and actor Neil Patrick Harris. Duking it out are veteran Indian chef, Thomas John, and a blast from Bobby's past, personal chef Gail Arnold.
It's festive fun with the Barefoot Contessa who is throwing a dazzling holiday dinner party for friends. A luxurious seafood gratin of lobster, halibut and plump pink shrimp in a golden saffron sauce is served. To follow, there's a creamy pumpkin mousse then spicy mulled wine and festive s'mores stuffed with French chocolate bark round a burning brazier in the garden.
Ina Garten shows how quick and easy it is to make homemade hollandaise sauce with a blender, as seen on Food Network's Barefoot Contessa. Pair this foolproof recipe with eggs Benedict.
