Ina Garten spends Thanksgiving with her husband Jeffrey
In a new video from New York times, “Aina’s Favorite,” Garten offers viewers a tour of her barn kitchen in her Hamptons home. It’s where she filmed her Food Network since 2002, and it’s absolutely amazing.
The lavish kitchen features dishwashers, 25 feet of limestone, and a sunlit reading room filled with sofas and cookbooks. The barn kitchen is where Garten hosts Thanksgiving dinner for friends and family every year. But this year the Food Network star celebrates Eid with her husband Jeffrey.
“I would probably make a very small turkey, and I think we’re going to have a very good time,” Garten revealed.
She says she will stick to her no-stuffing policy and make bread pudding instead. But she doesn’t think everyone should follow her. Garten hopes that “people will give themselves permission to do what they want this year.”
The Food Network star shared her recipes for ‘Micro Thanksgiving’
Since the pandemic broke out in March, Garten has gained more than a million followers on Instagram. Thanks to their amazing recipes for giant cocktails and their new recipes Modern Comfort Food The cookbook, Garten’s Instagram page has become a go-to for many while in quarantine.
With that in mind, Garten shared her best recipes for what she called “Micro Thanksgiving” for the fans who miss the big gatherings this year.
