Inside Ina Garten's Kitchen | Ina's Favorite Things | NYT Cooking

It’s the Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten! Follow along as she gives us a tour of her East Hampton, N.Y. kitchen (a.k.a. her office). What are Ina’s favorite things? Handy spoons, butcher blocks, three types of salt and - wait for it - a jar of homemade vanilla extract that she’s been adding to for 35 years. That’s dedication.
To make vanilla extract at home, fill a jar with vanilla beans and vodka, let sit for four to six months, “and you’ve got vanilla extract forever.”

Came home from school every day (2 words);, yet an every-day occurrence - a compound adjective preceding a noun. Hope you're not home-schooling anyone above the 3rd-grade level, lol!

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Google what a Gerund is. It's the possessive form of a verb, preceding a verb, aka, my running, his walking, her mandating, the dog's walking versus the dog WAS walking, etc. Ugh. No wonder why the US is so far behind, academically speaking.

[@JB-os6nk]

Her team denied the request without consulting her first, and when she found out about it via the insane media backlash she personally reached out to right the wrong, but the boy had already received a different Wish from the foundation. The boy's mother has even been vehemently against all the backlash on social media and in the news, because her boy still loves Ina and the family holds no ill will against her. It was 11 years ago, you have no idea what you're talking about, sit down and be quiet.

How often do you replenish the vanilla beans and the vodka?

[@rupincr6082]

@@oliviavotaw you don’t need to use vanilla beans with seeds in them. That means that every time you use a vanilla bean in a recipe, you can throw the pod which would normally go in the garbage, into the jar. You can just replace the vodka after every time that you use it. It won’t noticeably dilute the flavor.

My vanilla has only been going for 10 years now and I switch between Bourbon, sky vodka and cognac. I also add a tablespoon of raw sugar to every 750 ml bottle.

In a standing in fron of a viking range ... I have what everyone else has 😭😭😭😭... this woman, god love her

[@3daysandotherlies776]

My sister has a Viking range and double oven. She burns everything and I think they are a hassle. Don’t worry a good regular brand will serve most people better anyway.

I love Ina! And to see behind the scenes of her kitchen is a real treat. :)

[@rachelbarton2299]

This is so pure and wholesome, exactly what I needed today!! Thanks Ina!! ♥️

I LOVE my ice cream scoop for muffins and meatballs and cookie dough. I even use it for pancake batter. I am super fond of weighing my bread doughs so I get uniform buns and loaves. Turns out I’m a terrible estimator 🤣

[@elphie93]

My Aunt never weighs anything and her food is amazing - I do not share that gift!
