She cooks...she doesn't count calories....and she has 400 gay best friends. Plus she is insanely wealthy and lives in the Hamptons!!! Oh, and she doesn't wear shoes...apparently.

Is that why he had to work on Christmas? To deliver flowers?
They were so hush hush about his job -- like he worked for the FBI or something. By the way, her standing rib roast looked like it could use another 15 minutes in the oven. |

ROFL....
I've also noticed she never likes to fully cook anything. I can remember her saying that "our grandmothers" used to cook their turkeys for 6 hours...but that it only needed 2 (wtf). Then she cut the monster opened and it was PINK! Le Nastae. Also, is she a fag hag or what? Kathy Griffin, eat your heart out sister. And don't even get me started on her WIFE Geoffrey. It's obvious who wears the pants in that family (and by pants I mean her standard wardrobe of a XXXL mens dress shirt and some black pants.) I kid because I love Ina....because I love. |

I love this bitch. And yes, I agree that she's a total fag hag. Which is great because I love me some gays. There's like at least one in each episode.
She had TR Pescod on once. He looked yummier than the food. My only problem with Food Network shows is that they always use ingredients that are incredibly difficult to find in this cultural wasteland I live in. |

I enjoy her show...her side-dish recipes are pretty good, however, I would NOT cook any of her meats. Yesterday's pork roast recipe with onion stuffing looked disgusting.
Her voice sounds like she's a 3 packs a day & a whiskey for the last 20 years. If she does go to parties in "The Hamptons" then it's because the host hopes she'll provide the food, not because of her sparkling personality. |

My mother and I have loved to get to relative gatherings and hear the latest stories of Michael, but on Barefoot Contessa is the first we've actually SEEN him in decades! |

Me and my friend watch this show and laugh...she makes some really nasty things.
Once, she wanted to make "Orange Butter", she was explaining how and this was it... "Simply get a pound of butter, put it into your mixer...then grab a jar of orange marmalade, and there you go!" She's also an alcoholic it seems...adding alcohol to anything possible. One show she opened her fridge to put trout in overnight and the whole top shelf was wine, vodka, etc. |

On one ep, she was making a "party friendly cocktail" and made Lemon Drops, which consisted of 2 *cups* of Vodka, the juice of one lemon, and 1/3 cup of sugar. That is the exact recipe. Did her guests drive home?!?!

It's on the Food Network...not sure what time. And yes, it is a real show with her own recipes...not a parody.

It really is the best show on all of Food Network. Giada is kind of a twat. Rachael is on more meth than I've ever seen in my life. Thus, you have Ina. What, with her sensible bangs, shapeless tops, and obviously homosexual husband. Its like the life a socialite leads in some Lifetime movie, before she turns into Liza and goes on a bender. I'm really waiting for her to snap at one of her numerous friends, at one of their numerous parties on the beach.
Though, the "dog birthday party" episode was utterly ridiculous. She does however make a mean potato salad. I will say that her recipes are generally good. Its refreshing to see someone who isn't trying to cut every single calorie out of food and still try and pass it off as delicious. Its a hot mess, and I'm pretty sure that everyone should watch this! |

Her fried chicken recipe is pretty good. But, if you turn on the epi where she makes the duck, just walk away. It looks so nasty.
