Barefoot Contessa Mega Post
First off, be sure to check out the recipe for Crunchy Noodle Salad on today’s Barefoot Contessa. It’s pictured above and my mouth is already watering. You can find the recipe by clicking the link I just dropped. I’m actually going to the store shortly to grab the ingredients I don’t have on hand. Other recipes from this episode are: Blueberry Sauce, Asian Salmon, and Lemon Yogurt Cake (Are you kidding me? YUM!)
This sounds absolutely awesome.
Barefoot Contessa is one of those shows that seems to sometimes fall through the crack in Food Network’s lineup. Other celeb chefs seem to be so “out there” and sometimes delightfully over-the-top that Ina Garten (a.k.a. the Barefoot Contessa) seems really tame by comparison.
As a matter of fact, I only recently started following her shows! But after just one episode I was totally hooked. Not only is it like visiting with a favorite relative, her recipes are amazing. They have a very unique quality to them and reflect Ina’s classiness and grace. I can’t quite explain it, it’s something you’d have to see for yourself.
Something else that strikes me is how relaxing it is to watch Barefoot Contessa. Her episodes have the same effect that Nigella Lawson’s do - you find yourself so kicked back and relaxed you’re extra sorry to see them end!
If you haven’t familiarized yourself with the Barefoot Contessa yet, today would be a great time to do so - this sounds like it’ll be a great episode.
Ina Garten’s Cookbooks are also very special. I’ve been a fan of them for a long time - even if I was a little late to her television shows. Pictured above is one of the best: Barefoot Contessa at Home Everyday Recipes Youll Make over and over Again
