"Barefoot Contessa Pantry is the beginning of a full line of products for breakfast, lunch and dinner that let you make my classic recipes in no time at all. How easy it that?" - Ina Garten

The Pantry offers:

Preserves & Lemon Curd

Breakfast Baking Mixes

Dessert Sauces

Condiments, Sauces & Marinades

Pancake Mixes And Syrups

Dessert Baking Mixes

Has anyone seen or tasted any of these products yet? :rolleyes:

How likely that you might be interested in trying the items offered?

(a) really have to try them! :biggrin:

(b) maybe but vacillating ... :hmmm:

© is this really cooking? :huh:

(d) isn't her cookbook the truest way to emulate Ina Garten? from scratch? :wink:

She doesn't seem to be the type to put her seal of approval on just anything... I think it would have to be very good quality for her, so I would definitely try any of it. There was a blurb in her Chefography about the line, and it looks interesting for sure!

Well, you can never refuse to try a new condiment, now, can you?

and nothing being sold in the Pantry seems to resemble a "health food" either ... :laugh:

Well, we are talking about Ina, after all...

I am a HUGE Ina fan, but I doubt I'll be buying these. They sort of violate my cardinal rule (well, more of an effort, really, with an eye toward saving for my vacation in Prague and France this fall) of not buying anything that I can make at home, particularly when it's an expensive something.

I'll just make the lemon curd and hot fudge from her cookbooks!

I just checked (I have Family Style, Barefoot in Paris, and the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook), and I totally can't find recipes for either. Maybe we WILL have to buy them. :wink:

I'm not sure about the hot fudge recipe, but her lemon curd recipe is available on the food network site. However, it's kinda hidden in her lemon meringue tart recipe. Strange, because I know I've seen her make stand alone lemon curd on her show...
