Whether you're a devoted Barefoot Contessa fan (like us!) or a follower of Lidey's Table, you can now get your Ina Garten fix whenever you want. As of today, Season 1 of Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics is currently streaming on Netflix.
Just in time for the holidays, you can watch the Barefoot Contessa whip up some of her famous dishes, including picnic-perfect pesto and brunch-worthy strawberry scones. We've picked a few of our favorite recipes to create an amazing fall menu:
First up are Fried Baby Artichokes served with herb-yogurt dip, a recipe presented by Ina's friend, David, in the "Cooking With Friends" episode. Winter herbs like sage and thyme make this the perfect dish to transition from summer to fall.
We would follow the first course with Ina's Perfect Roast Chicken, which she serves with roasted carrots, onions, and fennel. For anyone who's intimidated by the idea of cooking a whole chicken, cast your fears aside. The Barefoot Contessa has made it look almost impossibly easy in the very first episode of this season, keeping things simple but flavorful. If you don't consider yourself an expert in the kitchen, also be sure to check out our kitchen secrets and follow Ina's recipes closely.
Ina says that the solution to most of life's problems can be solved with a cookie, so we're serving up Chocolate Chunk Blondies for dessert. These beauties are made from a basic cookie dough (you can actually use the same dough to make perfectly crispy, classic chocolate chip cookies). Loaded with walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chunks, these blondies truly rival the traditional chocolate chip cookie.
If you need us, we'll be binge watching all 25 episodes with plenty of delicious snacks on hand. BRB.
