To my heart’s delight, I woke up this morning to find out that the Food Network is showing episode after sweet episode of The Barefoot Contessa. As much as I heart the Food Network, I could really do without the likes of many of their celebrity chefs (E.V.O.O.? Really?). But dear Ina stays classy, and her approach to cooking and entertaining – stylish, simple, fresh – has that kind of universal appeal that’s inviting and special without being alienating and schmancy. Plus, the girl really knows how to use a stick of butter.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to watch whatever adorably ornery thing Jeffrey is about to say.
