Ina Garten on Dinner Parties, Travel, Marriage, and Taking Risks
Briefly

Johnny Miller Ina Garten emphasizes the transformative journey from a White House budget writer to a culinary icon, revolutionizing home cooking with her approachable recipes.
Garten reveals her philosophy of cooking for guests: 'Nobody should ever make a new recipe for guests. You have no idea how it's going to turn out. You should make something you know you love.'
She advocates for quality over homemade, stating, 'When I say store-bought is fine, it doesn't mean you can use canned pie filling. It means you can use delicious Haagen-Dazs vanilla-bean ice cream instead of making your own.'
With humor, Garten adds, 'Grand Marnier and cognac make everything taste better.' This underscores her belief that flavor enhancement can come from smart ingredient choices.
