Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, welcomes a variety of guests to her East Hampton home in the new season of Food Network’s Be My Guest with Ina Garten. The show premieres on Sunday, 29 September at 12 pm ET/PT.
The season opens with a culinary exchange between Garten and her friend, chef, restaurateur, and fellow Food Network personality Bobby Flay. Garten greets Flay with a Cherry Pistachio Biscotti demonstration and a quick Irish Coffee Affogato recipe. Flay returns the favour by teaching Garten how to make his favourite fresh fettuccine dish with anchovy butter and chives.
In subsequent episodes, Garten is joined by award-winning actor, comedian, and producer Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as well as talk show host, comedian, and producer Stephen Colbert and his wife, producer Evie McGee-Colbert.
Celebrated actor and producer Wendell Pierce, bestselling novelist Ann Patchett, and distinguished chef and restaurateur Eric Ripert also grace Garten’s table this season. Patchett shares childhood revelations and offers insights into her successful writing career, while Ripert prepares his signature Seared Tuna with Ginger Soy Salad.
Be My Guest with Ina Garten is produced by Pacific Productions.
