Here's a fun set of videos from House Beautiful — an interview with Ina Garten, chopped into quick sound bites about some hot topics. We don't watch a lot of food videos online; it's hard to commit to watching one for 10 minutes or more! But we love these short, breezy sound clips of Ina talking with Stephen Drucker about her favorite comfort food, her favorite breakfast, and how she develops her recipes.
We were impressed (and a little staggered!) by her description of how many times she tests her recipes — it sounded like dozens and dozens!
Check out the videos — they are a fun way to spend just a few minutes.

I don't cook a lot of Ina's dishes on a day to day basis - sometimes it's becuz of the richness/calorie content and more often, due to the serving size. It's tough to scale down a roast for 2 people!
But I love her style, her great attitude and the fact that I *never* have problems with her recipes. Everything is so straight-forward, easy to follow, no surprises. The desserts, especially, are always (to use one of Ina's fav words) fabulous.
I can't wait to get her new book coming out this fall!
i heart ina. her chicken picatta and roasted mustard potatoes are amazing!
caramelized shallots! !
i really like her roasted broccoli and roasted shrimp. such easy ideas! also, i'm planning on making her pear clafouti for thanksgiving. (yes, it's july and i'm thinking about thanksgiving already.)
I LOVE her banana sour cream pancakes-they are SO good!
