It's appropriately named Be My Guest with Ina Garten because on each episode, a friend of hers RSVPs to go out to her house in the Hamptons for a day to cook and hang out in her gorgeous kitchen and home. And in some of the episodes, there's a surprise visit from her lovely husband, Jeffrey, too. And And I had the thrill of being invited this season.
And we're going to play it for you in just a second. But I really I have to tell you, it was such a delightful day for real. There was no fake in it. It was just like total bliss being with her. And now I know how to frost a cake correctly. And I know what kind of kitchen countertops I'm going to get for my kitchen. So win-win. Doesn't get better than that.
Chapter 2: Why is Ina Garten's podcast Be My Guest special?
Head on over to Be My Guest with Ina Garten wherever you get your podcasts to hear some other guests who RSVP'd yes too. But before doing that, let's listen to my episode with Ina.
I'm Ina Garten. I love to invite interesting people to my house for good food, great conversation, and lots of fun. The incredible 11-time Emmy Award-winning actor, comedian, and producer Julia Louis-Dreyfus is coming to the barn. We're sharing a French omelet.
And I have the big hat.
Chapter 3: What delightful experiences did Julia have with Ina Garten?
Talking life, love, and laughs.
It's like endorphins you can taste.
Then we're fooling around with frosting.
Don't make me laugh. You're ruining my cake.
Making an amazing chocolate cake. And I'd better watch out. It looks good. I'm here to take over. Be my guest. What? Julia's moved in. My guest is Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I mean, who doesn't love her? So I know she likes eggs and I know she likes bacon, so I'm gonna make her my French country omelet. And it starts with four slices of bacon that I've cooked until crisp.
I'm just gonna take them out and put them on a plate. And then what I'm gonna do, in the little bit of fat that's left, I'm gonna cook some potatoes. I mean, who wouldn't like that? Eggs, potatoes, bacon, yum. This actually comes from a recipe from a bistro in Paris that I love. Okay, lots of salt and pepper.
And that's gonna cook for about eight to 10 minutes until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender. And while they cook, Let me tell you about my insanely talented and beloved guest. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the incredible actor, comedian, and producer, is one of the greatest performers in TV history, winning 11 Emmys.
Born in New York, she divided her time living with her stepfather and mom, a writer, and her French entrepreneur and philanthropist father. Julia studied theater at Northwestern, where she met her husband, fellow comedian Brad Hall. At just 21, she was discovered by SNL, the youngest member in history.

Chapter 4: How did Julia's early career challenges shape her?
But there has to be an authenticity in place as well. As a matter of fact. But anyway, so now wait a minute. What is this?
It's Belgian granite.
It's Belgian granite. Okay. I need a list. I'm taking this with me.
You'll have a hard time getting that into the car. It's fine. You'll be able to replace it after I'm gone. You'll figure it out. If it's missing, I'll know where it is. Coming up, wisdom.
I didn't really succeed in any kind of way there, except to say I learned by not succeeding. Wisecracks.
You know what you need in this kitchen? I know. Paper towels.
And chocolate cake.

You like chocolate cake, right? Love it. Okay, I picked the right thing. So I'm going to show you how to make a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. Okay. And we're going to get it all over ourselves, I'm sure. Now, wait a minute. How did this happen? Well, I'm going to show you how I did it. The cake is really easy.
First, I sifted together one and three quarter cups of all purpose flour, two cups of sugar, three quarters of a cup of good cocoa powder, two teaspoons of baking soda, a teaspoon of baking powder, and a teaspoon of kosher salt. Then I put the dry ingredients into the bowl of my electric mixer. Next, the wet mix.
I combined a half a cup of vegetable oil, a cup of buttermilk, and two extra large eggs, plus one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and mixed them together. Then with the mixer on low, I added the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, plus a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee, and mixed it all together.
