Be My Guest: A Touch of Eric Ripert in the Barn – Ina Garten Hosts Culinary Star on Food Network

Be My Guest With Ina Garten Key Art

This Sunday, Ina Garten’s barn is getting a dose of Michelin-star magic. Eric Ripert, the culinary force behind Le Bernardin, joins the Barefoot Contessa for a chat and some serious cooking.

While Garten tempts Ripert with a French Apple Tart, a nostalgic nod to his childhood, he returns the favor by demonstrating a dish that seems far too fancy for a home cook: Seared Tuna with a Ginger Soy Salad. Will Ina be able to replicate this culinary feat, or will it remain firmly in the realm of three-star restaurants?

I’m betting on Ina, but who knows, maybe this is the episode where she finally meets her match. The prospect of these two culinary titans sharing a kitchen is certainly, well, something to chew on.
