Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, its more important to make yourself feel good. – Ina Garten
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 thats what gets a dinner party off to a fun start. – Ina Garten
The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe its something I had as a child or maybe its something I had in Milan, but I want it to taste better than you ever thought. – Ina Garten
My extravagance is my garden – its the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure. – Ina Garten
Dear to us are those who love us… but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
