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 a taste of the dolce vita as Ina Garten throws an Italian-themed birthday dinner with a big surprise for Jeffrey. To get the party started, there's Bruschetta with Sauteed Chard and Aperol Spritzers, followed by Roasted Italian Meatballs and a cool Arugula, Radicchio and Parmesan Salad.
Ina Garten is tackling daunting dishes with easy techniques, from a perfectly risen Souffle a L'Orange to overcoming pastry fears with her totally professional-looking Anna's Tomato Tart. Super chef Jose Andres has an amazing trick for separating eggs, then there's foolproof caramel for irresistible Caramel Salted Nuts.
Ina Garten is sharing recipes and pro tips for putting together a gorgeous seasonal brunch. She starts with Shakshuka with Feta, the perfect way to serve eggs to a crowd, and bakes a batch of make-ahead Morning Glory Muffins. Smoked Salmon Tartines with Gravlax Sauce turn the volume up on a brunch staple, and Ina shares her secrets to the perfect Fresh Fruit Platter before toasting the holidays with a Spicy Bloody Mary.
Ina Garten's got weeknight dinners covered, pro-style! There are Roasted Salmon Tacos with avocado salsa and a super quick slaw, then Cider Roasted Pork Tenderloin with an incredible make-ahead marinade and served with Fig Chutney. Garlic and Herb Roasted Shrimp are a one-pan wonder, then chef April Bloomfield reveals her go-to, off-duty weeknight dinner: an Oven-Baked Three Cheese Sandwich. Finally, Ina makes five-minute Lemon Capellini.
It's all about simple pleasures and four dishes that bring Ina Garten pure joy. First, she makes Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions for a new take on classic feel-good food. Then there are Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookies -- what's not to love? Ina also makes the easiest appetizer ever, Kielbasa with Mustard Dip, and doubles her pleasure with Cheddar and Chutney Grilled Cheese for a date in the garden with Jeffrey.
Ina Garten, the queen of roasted vegetables, spills the beans on how to roast like a pro, starting with Butternut Squash Hummus. Then, British-based restaurateur and chef Yotam Ottolenghi gives the lowdown on picture-perfect Roasted Baby Vegetables with Sumac and Yogurt. Next, two delectable Spanish recipes: Roasted Vegetable Paella and chef Jose Andre's roasted Escalavida Catalana. Finally, Ina makes Roast Potato and Fennel Soup and her ultimate side dish: Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower.
Ina Garten is sharing all her seafood secrets and pro tips, starting with her recipe for Cioppino, a satisfying one-pot stew with cod, shrimp, scallops and mussels. Her Bay Scallops Ceviche with marinated, raw scallops is an easy, no-cook appetizer, and Salmon with Melting Cherry Tomatoes is a fast and foolproof dinner. Ina wraps things up with a perfect high-low mix of Warm Lobster Rolls, a classic with the volume turned up.
Cozy up in Chef Bobby Flay's kitchen as he and Damaris Phillips talk about comfort food and make feel-good favorites with one of their favorite people: Ina Garten! Bobby cooks up his go-to comfort dish, a Red Chile Glazed Meatloaf. Then Ina joins the party with her creamy Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Sauteed Shredded Brussels Sprouts. Damaris adds sides to the menu with Barbecue Mac and Cheese and Honey-Buttermilk Skillet Cornbread.
