She's absolutely my favorite television chef and every one of her recipes that I've made has been excellent. I usually cut back on the amount of salt, though.

Ina's adorable, & so warm & inviting. I've tried many of her recipes, & they've been delicious. Watching her show is so relaxing, & I WISH I had local shops like she has in the Hamptons.

Concerning the salt she uses....Ina's recipes call for kosher salt. Most of use use sea, or table salt- they aren't the same as kosher, so you need to adjust.

I like her, too. I find her voice very calming! My daughter calls her boring, because of her voice! I don't think so! I like her calm manner and she explains things so well. I agree that she and her husband look to have the perfect marriage! They are clearly devoted to one another.

One of my favorite recipes of hers is her Pan-Fried Onion Dip. Always a hit!

ETA that I don't use the cayenne (the regular pepper is enough for us) and I use only a little salt (regular, not Kosher).

I too like Ina. I find her very calming and I love the way that she cooks. I have made a lot of her recipes and they all were very good. I think her and Jeffrey really love each other and they both have worked very hard to get where they are today. I have several of her cookbooks and love them all.

Even using Kosher salt some of her recipes are too salty.

She has however, mentioned that there some misprints in her cookbooks regarding measurements.

I mostly use flake kosher salt, still reduce the amount. It is all to your own tastes, as with most things.
