Ina Garten launches the Barefoot Contessa Pantry

March 3, 2006

Author and Food Network hostess, Ina Garten, has launched the Barefoot Contessa Pantry with specialty food producer, Stonewall Kitchen.  The exuberant chef with the down-to-earth cooking style has recently completed overseeing the development and production of this line of products that includes preserves, baking mixes, savory and dessert sauces and more. Each recipe has been carefully created from Ina’s tried and true favorites from her four cookbooks.

The Coconut Cupcakes, Outrageous Brownies and Chocolate Chunk Cookie mixes make Ina Garten’s decadently delicious recipes easy to make at home with little effort and only a few added ingredients like eggs and butter. Also in the line are cooking and marinating sauces that replicate many of the most popular dishes made famous on Ina’s show and in her cookbooks.

Realizing that today’s cooks may not always have the time to cook from scratch, Ina wanted to make it easier for everyone to be able to enjoy her incredibly flavorful favorites. Her mission is to bring her most loved recipes into homes tasting and looking precisely like her original recipe. The line, currently hosting 35 products, will continue to grow and will be available nationwide in specialty food stores and gift shops and through Stonewall Kitchen’s Company Stores and website at Stonewall Kitchen.

Would love to see a line of canisters like Ina Gartens uses for her flour. Would like these canisters to be glass see thru with seals and lift off lids. Big enough to hold 10 lbs flour, 5 pounds sugar etc. These 'cutsy' canisters of the 1960's don't cut it and the 'flip-top' jar canisters don't last and are ugly. The jars similiar to Ina's in Walmart don't have a rubber seal around the lid. Then the sugar gets hard!!!!!

I watched Ina make a dessert today with vanilla and Cognac. I wanted to tell Ina and everyone that Grand Marnier has a great new product out called Navan. This is a vanilla infused Cognac that uses a very good vanilla bean from Madagascar. Anyways, I definitely would recommend using NAVAN.

To Ina Garten...........I love watching your shows. You are my very favorite chef.
You have a lovely husband, and a beautiful marriage.......I can tell. All I want to tell you, in total respect, is that you look SO GOOD in white shirts. For some reason, you look thinner, prettier, and so nice. I don't think you look nearly as good when you wear the blue shirts, nor the black shirts, nor the green shirts. But white........YOU SPARKLE. Didn't other people tell you that? On TV, it works for you! I mean this as a compliment!

Can anyone help me with a high-altitude version of Beatty's Chocolate Cake? I'm at nearly 6000 feet and have made it several times with the standard modifications (reduced baking powder, reduced sugar, increased liquid). The cakes still puff up like souffles and then deflate while cooling.

Once they're cooled I can trim away the overflow and they taste fantastic, but I sure would like to make one that acts like it ought to.

Question, is Ina's dear friend TR available?
He's such a strikingly good looking man!
