I know a thread was created a few months ago, but I thought it would be best to start a new one.

Is it me or does this woman have any excuse for a party?

Some of her food looks lovely, but she uses too much salt for my liking.

I find her strange, stilted relationship with her husband disturbing.

Also, she has a 'fat persons's voice' - thick and nasally with audible breathing.

I think she's a very unhealthy person and she is only barefoot because her feet got too fat.

And all her male friends are camp and/or gay !

Have tried a few of her recipes and they have been delicious. She uses too much salt, pepper and butter though.

The time she decorated the table with building materials for her builder friends made me piss myself.

She's not so big now!

Unless it's an old cook book of course!

I love this show for the total can't stop looking cringe fest that it is - especially when the husband is around. Bet there is a smell of lavendar in that house.

For the ultimate cringe fest, check out Healthy Appetite with ellie krieger. That really is bizarre.

Oh yeah, just a few things she found in the garage, that happened to be brand new and shinier than a new pin.

And that false laugh of hers....she laughs at some of the most strange things

And that "heeeey sweeeeedie"...and the latching onto her husband "jeffrey" like a bloody limpet...sheeeesh..

Oh and having people coming over for lunch/breakfast/dinner/supper...is NOT A ****IN PARTY!!!!!!!



and....breathe

She annoys the hell out of me....but I cannot stop watching.

But I swear she uses WAY too much salt and her husband is gay!

This woman has a Mustard fetish. She uses it at the drop of a hat - and always way too much.

And a butter fetish....she uses about four sticks in most of her recipes, I'm suprised she hasn't had a heart attack!

And if she says 'how bad can that be' one more time......

OH and I also think that her husband is gay, but then she also has a lot of gay friends - maybe no coincidence.
Anyway, I now aspire to live her lifestyle, with my husband rather than her gay one in the Hamptons ! I too want to ponce about in a convertible merc just to go and buy "heirloom" tomatoes

I think I may have said in a previous thread about her, but I really find (what we see) of her relationship with Jeffrey a bit weird.

She seems to be a bit insecure, it's as she thinks Jeffery would take off with a fluzy (sp?) on his way home from Connecticut on a Friday night if one weekend she didn't deliver the goods with his favourite Chicken dish.

It's quite cute that she has her army of gay friends, but it seems that some of the gay friends don't get on with each other. Did you see the Christmas episode when florist Michael & table decorator Miguel were tarting up Ina's friends house, you could have cut the atmopshere with a knife.

On another note I'm not enjoying this new series 'back to basics'. We don't see enough of Ina's fabulous lifestyle in it.

I agree...I saw that episode...they were throwing some nasty looks
Does she not have any "straight" friends??
We should have a drinking game...one shot every time she comes out with one of her phrases.."who knew?"..."hey sweedie".."how bad can that be?" etc etc

And yes...Back to Basics is just not the same at all....bring back the original...

To be honest, i find the whole Barefoot Contessa concept contrived and cringe-worthy. It isn't as if any of her recipes are outstanding - they're not. It's all very basic stuff given a schmaltzy make-over as endorsed by Martha Stewart. And look what SHE got!!

As for Jeffrey. Yes. There is something VERY suspicious about this guy.

You lot are terrible but find this thread very funny.!!

Oh and I'm a big fan of Ina Garten.

Haven't watched it for a while but caught it the other day & got a bit confused.

They were all outside this place where I believed is where she did the cooking & I can see their big house in the background.

What is this house where she's doing all her cooking then?

Yay! More Barefoot fans/haters!!

Andf I dont mean haters as in you hate her and her cooking, but certain things Barefoot does (I know she's called Ina, but Barefoot's cooler) really grinds my gears.

By the way, Jeffrey, is like...AMAAAAAZING! Check out what he's done in his wiki page:
