To me, Garten is one of the greats - so when I decided to cook an early Thanksgiving dinner for friends, it was a no-brainer that I'd put together a menu full of "Barefoot Contessa" recipes. Like Garten, I kept things simple and elegant, choosing classics like roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and green beans."
"I made a Thanksgiving feast using only Ina Garten's recipes. Most were easy and affordable. I made turkey, green beans, stuffing, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, pie, and cranberry sauce. After 10 hours of cooking, the meal for 12 was beautiful and filled with delicious highlights. Although I've been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family for over 15 years, I learned new tricks and found recipes I would definitely make again. Here's what it was like to cook a full-on Garten-giving."
