Ingredients
- I love to watch Ina Garten as the Barefoot Contessa. I love her gentle, calm and confident manner when sheâs in her kitchen showing us what to do. The way she cooks matches her simple, carefully refined recipes. Her reassuring voice tells me that I can do this too. And I like the segments when she sits serenely at a modern desk cleared of clutter, but for her chic chrome lamp, her laptop and her oh so tasteful coffee cup. She helps me to imagine a life defined by comfortable discipline and organization. She makes her days seem to be rich with all the time in the world to thoughtfully consider and perfect her recipesâwhich she then presents to her guestsâand to those of us watchingâwith grace and good humor.
- My parents were in Paris in the late 1940s (because my father worked at the U.S. Embassy thereâ¦) for a while just after Julia and Paul Child had left Paris for Marseilles. My mother used to sigh âI was so sorry to have just missed Juliaâeveryone said she was so much fun.â She saw a missed opportunity for a friendship with a fascinating womanâand even though our paths havenât neared crossing, thatâs how I feel about Ina. Sigh.
- I just bought Inaâs new Barefoot Contessa cookbook, Back to Basics. And now, one of my new favorite things to do is to roast shrimp. Inaâs wonderful recipe suggests the dish as an appetizer served with cocktail sauce (which was very goodâ¦) but my family also likes it this wayâfor dinner, with a simple chili mayonnaise dipping sauce, roasted potatoes and a green salad.
