Make-Ahead Thanksgiving Dinner
I’ve put together my favorite Make-Ahead Thanksgiving dinner for you. It’s classic flavors but with the volume turned way up so you can serve a delicious Thanksgiving feast with less stress. First, is my Make-Ahead Roast Turkey and Make-Ahead Turkey Gravy with Onions & Sage that go directly from the oven to the table. For sides, I’m serving crunchy, flavorful Green Beans Gremolata, savory Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Taleggio and thyme, and instead of stuffing the turkey, I make a Mushroom and Leek Bread Pudding with pancetta and Gruyère. Every dish is delicious and easy to make! For dessert, I have a Pumpkin Roulade with Ginger Buttercream that will wow everyone at your table - and you can make that days ahead of time too!
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!! - xxx Ina

Beef Bourguignon
This weekend is the Hamptons International Film Festival and I’m so excited to see JULIA, the documentary about Julia Child by my friends Betsy West and Julie Cohen. In Julia’s honor, I made Beef Bourguignon for dinner tonight. My version doesn’t cook for the usual four hours so you’ll be able to make dinner and get to the movies on time!

Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookies
You can be miserable before you eat a cookie and you can be miserable after you eat a cookie, but you absolutely can’t be miserable while you’re eating a Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookie!! Inspired by Sarah Kieffer’s recipe, these cookies are chocolaty, crisp, and a little salty, and the perfect after-school treat with a glass of milk. xxx Ina

Bellinis!
This weekend I’m making my all-time favorite summer lunch - Lobster Cobb Salad and Frozen Key Lime Pie! They require almost no cooking and they’re beyond delicious! But in the waning days of summer, I decided to add a little taste of la dolce vita - a delicious Bellini to make lunch even more special. These days we need to celebrate everything!! Have a wonderful weekend everyone! xxx Ina

Road Trip!
With everyone traveling (safely, I hope!), I put together a fun playlist for your trip. It reminds me of the four-month camping trip Jeffrey and I took in the early 70s. (How about that 70s hair???) It’s called “Road Trip!” and it’s available on Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora. Hope you love it!! xxx Ina

If You're Coming to the Hamptons...
A lot of people ask about my favorite places to visit in the Hamptons. “The Hamptons” is actually a string of historic villages including East Hampton, Bridgehampton, and Southampton on the south coast of Long Island, and each town has its own special character. There are so many wonderful places to visit in the Hamptons that I can’t possibly list them all, but here’s a list of some of my favorites!
