The Good Vanilla

This week Ina is showing us her tips and tricks for the perfect French dinner party. Barbara Lieberman stops by to help Ina recreate the 7 hour lamb that she had at a wedding in Provence, served with Provencal white beans on the side. (How FABULOUS is that?) Ina shows us how to style the table from cutlery, flowers, and how to balance serving multiple courses at once. (Yikes!) Lastly, we get our first taste of 'Ask Ina'! There's nothing else to say except bon appetit!

This week Ina is working ahead in preparation for a movie night on the town! She whips up a make ahead Italian feast of five cheese penne, Rosemary cashews, stewed fruit with vanilla ice cream, antipasto salad balsamic onion salad, and washes it down with homemade Side Cars.

Its a show stopping finale as Giada shows Ina how to make her lemon mascarpone gnocchi with brown butter sauce. Buon appetito!

Its Friday night at the Garten's but there isn't a roasted chicken to be found because Ina is cooking Jeffrey a traditional Jewish dinner!

Next Ina plays "nurse" with David as he shows her how to make fried baby artichokes with an herb yogurt dip. Finally Eli is manning the grill with Ina by his side as he grills rib eye steaks, eggplant with homemade drizzle and garlic bits, and of course slices of his famous bread. Grab your bestie and have a listen!
