Ina Garten Quotes

I time everything. I’m a scientist at heart Picture Quote #1

I’ve taught myself how to use good, fresh ingredients and to prepare them as simply as possible by cooking only to enhance their intrinsic flavors Picture Quote #1

I love Alton Brown’s show ‘Good Eats,’ about the chemistry of food. It’s really thoughtful Picture Quote #1

My extravagance is my garden - it’s the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure Picture Quote #1

There’s something really wonderful about a party where you help yourself. Of course, first you get what you really want. But ‘family style’ service also really encourages people to connect with one another Picture Quote #1

I absolutely adore Thanksgiving. It’s the only holiday I insist on making myself Picture Quote #1

I always have music. I love it to be very upbeat. When you’re having drinks, I like something like Cesaria Evora. During dinner, I like the much more traditional - old Frank Sinatra and things like that Picture Quote #1

I’m really a scientist. I follow recipes exactly - until I decide not to. And then I’ll follow something else exactly. I may decide I could turn this peach tart into a plum tart, but if I’m following a recipe, I follow it exactly Picture Quote #1

My mother would never let me in the kitchen. I always wanted to cook, but I was never allowed to. Her view of the world was, ‘Cooking is my job, and studying is your job.’ I think, in retrospect, she didn’t like the chaos. She was very orderly. It had to be her way Picture Quote #1

Never let ‘em see you sweat. Guests feel guilty if they think you’ve worked too hard to make dinner for them - which of course you have! Picture Quote #1

Take one flower that you like and get lots of them. And don’t try to ‘arrange’ them. It’s surprisingly hard to do a flower arrangement the way a florist does one. Instead, bunch them all together or put them in a series of small vases all down the table Picture Quote #1

I love Alton Brown’s show ‘Good Eats,’ about the chemistry of food. It’s really thoughtful Picture Quote #1

If it’s a cocktail party, I generally make five or six different things, and I try to choose recipes that feel like a meal: a chicken thing, a fish or shrimp thing, maybe two vegetable things, and I think it’s fun to end the cocktail party with a sweet thing Picture Quote #1

I try to greet my friends with a drink in my hand, a warm smile on my face, and great music in the background, because that’s what gets a dinner party off to a fun start Picture Quote #1

The dirty little secret is that I grew up in a household where there were no carbohydrates allowed, ever. No cookies, no bread, no potatoes, no rice. My mother was very extreme in terms of what she served. Since I left home more than 40 years ago, I’ve been making it right for myself Picture Quote #1

One of the great gifts that you can give people is to cook for them Picture Quote #1

Fun is the most important. If you do stuff for money, it never works out Picture Quote #1

Every once in a while, a cookbook comes along that simply knocks me out Picture Quote #1

Anyone who tries to make brownies without butter should be arrested Picture Quote #1

I don’t like sitting at a table that’s too large, where everyone is too far apart. That’s a party killer Picture Quote #1

I measure everything, because I always think that if I’ve spent so much time making sure this recipe was exactly the way I want it, why would I want to throw things into a pot? Picture Quote #1

I use other cookbooks for inspiration. I must say I tend to cook from my own cookbooks for parties Picture Quote #1
