Ha! I just got done watching BF and Ina spoke one of her classics: “don’t have any fun until I get back”. This was during a working lunch.
that was supposed to be BC…..
Sadly, Jillian was unable to create a special sweater for Ina (see Holiday Sweater post) because Ms. Garten only wears oversized denim shirts – that appear larger in mirror :)
FYI: If you’ve never seen the 1954 film for which Ina’s show and (former) gourmet food shoppe was named, you can watch “The Barefoot Contessa” starring Ava Gardner and Humphrey Bogart tomorrow morning (12/11) at 6:00am (EST) on TCM.
I was watching today’s 1:30pm EST episode of BC, and something struck me about Ina’s contribution (Toasted Coconut Marshmallows) to her local bake sale: Not only was it a paltry dish, but she used vanilla without specifying that it should be “good.” So, she used “mediocre” vanilla? What, a charity doesn’t deserve “good” ingredients? What a Grinch.
I hate this stuck up bitch and I don’t care who knows it. Fuck her good vanilla. Who does she think she is? A good cook doesn’t need a $70 bottle of vanilla to make their stuff taste good.
YEAH!! And who does she think she’s kiddding with all of the oversized denim shirts?? We KNOW you’re gigantic, Ina!! PUT THE FORK DOWN!!!
I fully respect your opinion Ben but I have to disagree. Her menus might be repetitive variations of the same core ingredients but she does cook well, creates her own recipes, and cares about the viewers understanding the correct techniques. She might have the same fluff that most other FN personalities possess but at the core of every show it’s about making the best food you can have.
I just dont care her snobbiness.
Actually she uses Nielsen-Massey vanilla and it really is pretty decently priced considering it is so “good”. I think my bottle was around $13 – not so bad….
I used to think she was so pretentious, but after a while she kind of grew on me. Actually she is a good cook and has some really delicious recipes. Plus Jeffery always makes me laugh- he looks like a little garden gnome : )
I love the photos of Ina! Her eyebrows are always slightly gathered as she smiles, as if to say “You only WISH you could have this much fun.” It makes me laugh.
Poor Ina. Somebody should tell her that wearing huge shirts and black high water pants makes her look like she’s in the wrong neighborhood.
I want to give Ina a new look SO bad! Gawd, those big black or blue shirts…and she has a boatload of money. Why not hire a stylist and see what kind of great looks they can pull together that are flattering to a full-figured woman? What about if she wore Spanks? Paula Deen does, she admitted it in a recent interview in “Good Housekeeping”. If Ina wore Spanks and some kind of upper body shaper, she could wear attractive sweaters or fitted blouses that wouldn’t look like she raided the closet of an NFL player. Now, about that hairstyle…
The hair is what bugs me. It always looks like she’s going to get it in the food.
Ina’s hair always looks greasy – like she rarely shampoos. On second thought, maybe she uses “really good” olive oil as a conditioner ;)
I think Ina’s hair looks greasy-and stringy-too. It’s very shiny, which my daughter attributes to the twenty lbs. of butter and “really good” olive oil that Ina consumes in any give week.
Looks like Ina is jamin’ to an old classic like “Endless Love” . . . . “My love my love …my ..endless looooove”
I wouldn’t mind singing it with her. haha
It does look like she’s jammin’, but in reality, she is saying something like, “I’m going to the oceanfront seafood shoppe to buy $300 worth of fresh mussels. Care to ride along? I have a “really good” car…it’s a Mer-SAAAAAY-des.”
It could be that song, but I think she’s singing along to He’s So Shy.
I’m just so damn tired of her use of the word “PERFECT.” Everything ingredient has to be “PERFECT.” Everything she prepares is “PERFECT.” And the only way to be “PERFECT” is to do it Ina’s way>
Just how “PERFECT” is that?
….how bad can that be?
And then she tells the viewing audience, “It doesn’t have to be PURRRR-fect.” So what, is she assuming that we lowly peasants will surely be disappointed with our results in the kitchen because, duh, we could never measure up to her skills and she’s trying to soften the blow?
…and remember Ina instructs those following her techniques that it shouldn’t look ‘perfect’, it should look ‘rustic’ or ‘homemade’. The next words out of her mouth when she admires her handywork is ‘perfect’.
Gag me with a silver spoon.
Well, one of the ironies is that Ina constantly says, “It doesn’t have to be perfect,” and then every other word is “fabulous,” “incredible,” and “perfect.”
Dude, I can’t believe she is 61! SCARY SHE IS MORE LIKE 661.
Ina is getting quite large. In her defence though, she has the couth to take just a small bite of her finished dishes. It shows a measure of respect to her audience.
Unlike Paula Deen, for example, who crams the largest spoonful she can fit into her mouth… And then continues talking with food swirling in her mouth. Don’t these people have handlers that point out these details?
Come on, Ina didn’t get to be the size of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon by taking just “a small bite” of her finished dishes! It’s obvious to me she spends a considerable amount of time over-eating–otherwise, she wouldn’t be so morbidly obese. No wonder she wears denim and big shirts! The real message of her show? Money might buy you a house in the Hamptons, but it can’t buy you happiness.
I thought I was referring to what Ina does on her show. What she does off-camera is her business. I don’t know anybody that doesn’t get fat without eating a lot, but thanks for the info Rod.
Look, if you’re trying to give the impression you only take “tiny bites” of prepared food, it would help the illusion greatly if you didn’t weigh 300 pounds. At least Paula doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to enjoying her eats. Ina obviously doesn’t illustrate such control when the cameras are off.
