There's something about this video not only showcasing Ina, but also the staff working behind the scenes and Ina's interaction with them. This video could've easily just been Ina prepping dishes and table settings, but this warm and easygoing atmosphere albeit at work mimics what people want to achieve during Thanksgiving with their families. NYT Cooking made a really good decision here!

My Mom has forever been considered the best cook in the family. Truth be told all of her siblings and a few of the grandchildren are all amazing cooks. My Mom’s secret, keep it simple. Homemade mashed potatoes, Pepperidge farm dressing with fresh ingredients thrown in, homemade pie (store bought crust) bakery rolls, fresh vegetable. The key is using quality ingredients not just choosing the cheapest. Ina is the queen and if she AND my mom agree then that’s what I’m doing ❤️.
Ina is the best! I remember when I was newly married and preparing to cook my first Thanksgiving dinner, my mom wrote down all my favorite recipes and a sheet of instructions, including what things I should buy from the store to make life easier. The best piece of advice I can pass on that I learned from my mom is to make as much ahead of time as possible, so I make the stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie crust and filling (separately, then I bake it in the morning before the turkey goes in), etc. all the day before. While the turkey is resting, I put the stuffing and mashed potatoes in the oven to reheat, bake the biscuits and make a salad and violá! Dinner is served. Happy Thanksgiving!
She is always so straight forward and gracious. She is an obsessed, passionate cook, but she doesn’t judge anyone else. She captures the spirit of good, lovingly prepared cooking for me.
Thank you for this video. I am laid up this year from rotator cuff surgery so our entire meal will be store-bought, with the exception of my husband’s smoked turkey. Looking forward to relaxing and having someone else do the prepping. have a wonderful thanksgiving, everyone!
Although I'm in Canada and already had thanksgiving in October, it's still good to know not EVERYTHING needs to be from scratch! Especially since I'm not much of a baker, and neither is my partner, we have NO ISSUES getting store-bought pie crust or rolls! Especially when I'm in grad school right now and don't have much time to fuss around with large meals. Yay for simplicity!
i will be on my own for the holiday, and i have embraced it by deciding to basically have everything simple from a box. instant potatoes (Idahoan is great), stove top dressing, store bought pie and hawaiian rolls. All i have to do is cook the turkey breast, which wont take much.
One of my favorite thanksgiving's was a warm and rowdy Friendsgiving with co-workers after we did the store prep for Black Friday. We popped into a 24 hour market after shift and grabbed a rotisserie chicken, premade mash etc. Took a nap on the floor of my Apartment then served out food and made stuffing while drinking and watching Die Hard😂
For large gatherings: set the table the day before without the glasses. Cover with clean table clothes overnight. Set out glasses the next day. Saves so much time.
This is such a refreshing concept and wonderful reminder to make it easier on yourself to actually enjoy and be present. Us perfectionists need to hear it from someone else!❤
I love this! I love buying some products that are already made and some fresh and mix them. sometimes I just dont want to cook everything and doctoring some store bought items is an easy way to do it. Ill also cook it differently. Like most items will say microwave which is the main culprit of ruining food so taking those mashed potatoes and just stove top cooking them instead of microwaving will make it taste better and its still easier because you didnt have to wash, peel, dice, boil, drain, and mash them first. I love that chefs like Ina are sharing that because not a store bought items are terrible. its just how you use it.
I actually love the Bob Evans mashed potatoes for a quick dinner side, but for Thanksgiving steam and mash is where it’s at. It’s in the freezer section and it’s potato cubes that you steam in the bag. Can you literally put them in a bowl and mash them and mix in your favorite stuff and it comes out just like fresh mashed. It’s so easy and it really does taste like you made them from scratch, it’s all the work out and leaves you just a fun bit of seasoning and perfecting what you like in them at the end! The only downside is the bags aren’t very big so if you’re serving a crowd you’re going to have to buy two or three bags. Still it’s our go to the mashed potatoes or if we’re craving real homemade tasting mashed potatoes.
This is great! A good reminder to not stress over everything being perfectly handmade. For people like me who work long hours but love to cook, this is a great video. ^^
I’ve made Ina’s Thanksgiving Recipes and they are so delicious, hard to believe they could be as good as her made from scratch Thanksgiving, but if Queen Ina gives her approval then it’s worth a try.
Idaho instant mash,,Stove Top stuffing,,frozen cut up squash,,jar of cooked onions,,can of Ocean state cranberry jellied sauce,,Package of rolls,,can of turkey gravy,,store pie..apple cider,,my store Bought,,Happy and Safe Thanksgiving
The idea that homemade is always vastly better than store bought is a few decades out of date. Food science has made tremendous improvements in recent years, and now store bought mass produced items are in many cases just as good as what the home cook can realistically make, or better. Frozen vegetables are often the freshest you can get. There needs to be a wider embrace of store bought products, instead of insisting that you just HAVE to make your own stock and whatnot.
It’s a question of time vs money. If you’re really broke, you can save a lot by doing the work yourself, but if you’re time pressed then buying stuff in will save you.
Thank you so much for this. Like in the great novel "Like Water for Chocolate," the cook's mood/emotions definitely are felt in the food. Was the cook anxious? Bitter? Then the food will taste anxious and bitter. Is the cook in love and relaxed? The guests and family will know. Happy Thanksgiving!
The mushroom gruyère bread pudding was at HIT for thanksgiving this year! I had family texting me days after asking for the recipe and telling me, “you better make that for next year ya hear!”

she's so nice and profesh!
NYT if so good at storytelling!💗
Yeah it shows you that you can't make her Thanksgiving dinner without a crew of 20 people, lol...
NYT Cooking made a terrible decision when they decided to charge for access to the recipes. The NYT all the recipes you can pay for. On Thanksgiving!

“it’s the sides everyone loves” and that’s on period
There's just something about Ina. She is so charismatic and warm. It makes me want to cook absolutely everything she talks about.
Ina Garten. National treasure.
the queen has given us permission to buy storebought 😂🥰 fantastic video. I love her so much.

You are in that small cult of cooks who know how to make great food but not destroy themselves in the kitchen making every single thing from scratch
The semi-homemade barefoot contessa spiritual mashup I never knew I needed ❤
Yup! ❤😊
I thought the exact same thing! Sandra Lee never got enough credit.
I was waiting for Sandra Lee to jump out of the pantry. LOL
I love Ina. I swear she never ages. God bless her.
I remember watching Ina on food network with my mom when I was a toddler, I loved watched her cook and bake. Such a core memory

I think I'll do the same, thanks. 👨🍳
I love Ina. Yes we love watching Ina cook involved recipes but store bought options are always a reality. Thanks for keeping it real Ina.
"I'm 'one-take Garten'." Love it!
“Storebought’ll do just fine” 💖
She is always so straight forward and gracious. She is an obsessed, passionate cook, but she doesn’t judge anyone else. She captures the spirit of good, lovingly prepared cooking for me.
This was very relaxing and lovely to watch. Thanks for the good vibes.

Check out some of the recipes for slow-cooker turkey breast. So much less to deal with than doing it in the oven.

frozen mashed potatoes are way better than instant.
@@lynnscott9657 That depends on what gastrointestinal issues you may have.
You should get Bob Evans mashed potatoes. The instant ones are OK but they’re not the best. And get a rotisserie chicken instead of a turkey.
How can you not love this woman?
I have been doing the mash potato thing for years. Thanks for letting me know it is actually Ina approved. What a relief!
I love her so much, she speaks so honestly about being a home cook. I’ll definitely be taking inspiration from this for the holidays ❤
For large gatherings: set the table the day before without the glasses. Cover with clean table clothes overnight. Set out glasses the next day. Saves so much time.

Love her. Always great recipes and down to earth attitude. Beautiful simple table.

Or you can just boil potatoes and make your own, fresh for less.
Omg. That is THE BEST tip! Thank you!!!!!
@@MrCallDesigns you know with water and potatoes you can get a similar type of mashed potato right? just put the potatoes in water
I love Ina! And her saying she's not a confident cook 🤯 shes amazing
This is great! A good reminder to not stress over everything being perfectly handmade. For people like me who work long hours but love to cook, this is a great video. ^^
Casseroles are the perfect place to use store bought ingredients because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Thank you, all the Thanksgiving tips no one knows how to put a table together like you. Ina Garten 🏡🦃🥰
This is how my grandma has alway done thanksgiving. Stove top stuffing, pre maid pie crust is all in how you put it together!
Whenever I need to feel comforted, I turn to Ina Garten. I just love her. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Ina is a legend! I love her!
As long as it tastes good, that’s all that matters😊
I love her!! She’s so real
I’ve always loved Ina!!! Been watching her since I learned how to cook😍
" I'm one-take Garten" is the best line in the whole video. What an ad lib!
I love you Ina. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
Thank you for all the Thanksgiving tips.
Love all your videos Ina Garton. 🥰🦃
“One take Garten.” Gotta love her!
I’ve made Ina’s Thanksgiving Recipes and they are so delicious, hard to believe they could be as good as her made from scratch Thanksgiving, but if Queen Ina gives her approval then it’s worth a try.
I just love Ina ❤
One of my Fav. chef!
Mrs. Garten
Happy holidays to you & Mr. Jeffrey🫶🏿!
I have watched you through the decades Lady Looking Good.
All the Best to You and Yours.

“Thanksgiving is not a contest “ I love that ! Ina ❤
Ina had her drink right away….lol 😂
Such a humble and gracious lady. 🙏🏻💜
This year for Thanksgiving, we're doing Chinese takeout. I'm super excited. Super excited!
If Ina thinks of herself as "not a confident cook " there is hope for us all. We are all probably much better than we give ourselves credit for.
I love Ina!!
Everything looks so amazing!! 😋😍
The QUEEN has spoken!
All hail the queen

Love you so much. Have all your cookbooks. Love you 😍
Ina is the greatest ❤
Ina's recipes are brilliant...
I love this! It reminds me of myself 😊❤️🇺🇲
If you don't have butter infused with the tears of virgin Dutch milkmaids, store-bought is fine. 😂

I love making sides!!!!
She’s a gift from god ❤
I love Ina ‼️❤️💯
Im making thanksgiving dinner again love it ❤❤❤
Your outfit is so, so pretty!!
I love this video. My mom’s cousin has been on her show myriad times and is featured in her cookbook. She makes cooking fun.
The Queen.
love her tips
This is amazing Ina. Who thought you would ever do this. 😜I’m in. Thanks. Have a great & healthy THANKSGIVING❤😊
Happy Thanksgiving Ida❤
Ina said, the size that everybody loves 😂😅 everybody agrees with that! 🎉
Sandra Lee had a whole show called "Semi Homemade" this is certainly not a new concept lol But, Ina's menu looks fantastic as always!😋
I use Ina's recipe for the turkey and the sweet potatoes. I also use store bought dressing mix. No complaints from the family.
Love Ina ❤❤
I just love Ina. That's all.
That house is to die for
Those orange couches are so beautiful
Happy Thanksgiving Ina 🎉
That's Mother right there
sandra lee is shaking rn
Miss Ina is coming for her gig!
I love Ina
Happy thanksgiving
“When you can buy something out of the store, there’s no need to make it at home” that’s my sister’s philosophy too.
Love you Ina❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much l love your recipes Happy thanksgiving 🍁 🥰🍸🍸🍸🍸❤️💫💫💫
Those Bob Evans mashed potatoes are actually good
It’s a question of time vs money. If you’re really broke, you can save a lot by doing the work yourself, but if you’re time pressed then buying stuff in will save you.
I still love your bbq sauce!!!
Tbh going back to the early barefoot contessa shows she’s always said make two, buy the third when it comes to courses.
So are these recipes in the nyt cooking app? Normally there are links
All of the links are in the description box
love this
Thank you so much for this. Like in the great novel "Like Water for Chocolate," the cook's mood/emotions definitely are felt in the food. Was the cook anxious? Bitter? Then the food will taste anxious and bitter. Is the cook in love and relaxed? The guests and family will know. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love Ina
Thank you for that permission Ina🙏🙏🙏
The mushroom gruyère bread pudding was at HIT for thanksgiving this year! I had family texting me days after asking for the recipe and telling me, “you better make that for next year ya hear!”
It’s the sides that everybody loves. 💀💀💀
