A Relatively Tame Ina Garten Cooking Demo on TODAY

Maybe it was the frigid East Hampton winter that got Ina off of Long Island and into her NYC digs lately, where I'm sure she's been shacking up. Today she appeared on NBC's Today show.

They were smart to have Meredith run the segment, but unfortunately nothing really happened in it!



Not really sure how the roast chicken was "dressed up for the holidays," but maybe she ran out of time. Mostly same old, same old. Roast chicken from her first book and pasta with white truffle butter from her new book Back to Basics. I still love her, though.

Ann Curry managed to sneak in at the last second and still run her mouth. Tricky tricky!

    I forgot to tape it. I guess I didn't miss much. That pasta does sound good. I love truffle oil. Never had the pleasure of having a truffle. Sad I know.

    I think they cut her short on time
    but I will take Ina anytime over
    some overexposed "chefs".

    For that short amount of time, Ina did fantastic. The Today Show's always rushing. Ever notice all the hosts looking at the monitor, checking time? So rude!

    Truffle oil is a fraud. It is scented with Bis Methylthio methane,
    not truffles.

    Ina should know better

    Could they have rushed that segment anymore?

    I have yet to see a cooking segment on one of those morning shows that wasn't rushed. They should either schedule extra time for it or stop doing it!

    I love how Ina NEVER washes her hands. Rarely! She handles raw meat all the time & just reaches for that pepper grinder, MMM! But I still love her!
