Sandra Lee Sullies The Legacy of Europe's Most Treasured Queens

This past weekend, the Food Network aired a brand new Semi Homemade Halloween special featuring our intrepid hostess Sandra Lee dressed in a variety of regal costumes as some sort of ode to the most memorable queens of history. As you can imagine, the results were eye-opening. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a busty …

Top Ten GOOD Ina-isms

Starting tomorrow, the Food Network will be airing brand new episodes of The Barefoot Contessa, and in honor of this GOOD event, I’ve decided to rank my top ten “Ina-isms” — those familiar phrases Ina Garten employs time and time again, much to my continued entertainment.
