A personal Ina Garten anecdote: in the late ought's my beloved partner Todd was an Ina Garten devotee as well as being a superb chef with his own restauraunt. At age 40, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and only given a few months to live. On the merest acquaintance with her, Ina and her husband Jeffrey asked Todd and me over for cocktails at their house in East Hampton. I kept it a secret, and during a drive around town with Todd one afternoon, pulled into Ina's driveway, knocked on her door, and she and Jeffrey came out greeting Todd like a long lost friend, ushered us inside and spent the next hour and a half talking with Todd about food, hospitality, recipes, and every interest they had in common. He was thrilled. It was the kindest, most generous act imaginable. Ina Garten: Humanus Emeritus!

When I was a young kid my mom would be watching food network and the minute I would here the barefoot contessa theme song I would stop whatever I was doing and would sprint into the living room and would jump onto my moms lap and we would watch barefoot contessa

I was a big Ina fan for yrs, but my feeling toward her changed when it came out that she wouldn’t grant a little boy with leukemia his “Make-A-Wish”….to spend the day cooking with her. They tried the next yr and again, she refused. When the boy’s mother blogged about it and it hit the news, then she reached out wanting to meet him. By then he didn’t want to and chose some much cooler dolphins to hang out with.

This woman and Dolly Parton are constantly restoring my faith in humanity when I am on the verge of throwing in the towel on us as a species.

The most favorite thing I've ever heard this sweet Lady say was, "Well, this is how I do it but you do whatever the fu*k you want." Still with that SWEET smile on her face. I 'bout fell outta my chair laughing. I LOVE HER!!

I absolutely love Ina Garten. Her roasted chicken is one of my favorite go to dishes and I live for the moments when Jeffery makes an appearance. Ina is low key my culinary Fairy God Mother, behind Martha Stewart.

Her lemon orzo chicken is also very very good

I have just about all of her cookbooks. I can always find something delicious to make with an Ina Garten recipe. Her gazpacho recipe is a summer staple in my house. And her Company Pot Roast is an all time favorite. Just made it a few days ago. She seems so down to earth, like cooking with a friend (as opposed to Martha who I find far too fussy). And this lovely interview just reinforced what I've always thought of her.

Every now and then I consider skipping an interview because I’m not familiar with the guest. I’ve never heard of Ina Garten and I don’t care about cooking shows, but boy did I find her sweet and charming! In less than 7 minutes I get why she’s had a 20 year career on TV. And I thought it was great that Stephen actually watches her show. Very delightful.

Ina is awesome. I started watching her as a teen and I still watch at 35yo when I can catch an episode. So relaxing and she seems incredibly kind and good-natured.

I love Ina Garten. I never forgot how she made a Long Island ice tea on her show Barefoot Contessa and saying wow she getting lit! Lol

Her roast chicken recipe is the best! Simple, fool proof and delicious 😋

Stephen is so *right,* her voice *IS* soothing: she's the BOB ROSS of cooking shows!👍😄💕🍾🥂💛🍲🤗💖

How did the pandemic affect me? Well ... I didn't go out for dinners and still don't ... I learned to cook far better through watching KZread vlogs ... I used the money saved from eating out and stimulated the economy by buying cooking equipment (pots, pans, dehydrator, waffle iron, meat slicer, deep fryer, etc., etc., etc. ... and I now routinely host dinner parties. Woohoo ... thank you pandemic! ... I'm saving money and have a much better lifestyle. Crazy Eh!

@@BuildinWings let's all look at the fact that we are human... if you have never failed, then tell us your ways... otherwise, maybe heal your cognitive distortions, that cause a person to see things (and people) in black/white, good/bad lenses. Life isn't that simple. It's complex, nuanced, and we all fail. The most important thing is do we learn, do we have accountability? If you have a core wound of shame...it's much more likely you point out others failures. Is this the case?

I used to brag that i made hamburger helper. Ina makes meals simple enough for someone as domestically challenged as me. She's very good.

I always enjoy watching Ina’s fantastic meals she prepared. This was how I learned about Vegetables like egg plants, leeks, etc on how to incorporate them into my meals. Her laughter and smiles are soothing. She makes it look simple and it inspires me to pick it up at the grocery store and come home to cook the meal-- barefoot! ;> Please ask Ina back and have another cocktail with an appetizer with her!

I've loved Ina & her wonderful demeanor for years watching her on the Food Network! She is an intelligent & creative woman! ❤❤

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU TWO TOGETHER!!!! Have a magnificent time with Ina & Jeffrey, Stephen Colbert!!!

I saw Ina at an airport in Ireland 4 or 5 years ago, with her hubby...completely by chance. I went up to say hi, and that I watch her on Food Network UK and she was absolutely lovely.
