Ina Garten's 5 Most Popular 'Barefoot Contessa' Dessert Recipes, According To Food Network - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:21 AM PST

Often referred to as the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten is a Food Network star. The 72-year-old is the longtime host of Barefoot Contessa. Her cooking show debuted in 2002 and, ever since then, she's been making mouthwatering recipes. Apart from her famous chicken dishes, Garten's known for desserts. They make any Barefoot Contessa fan wish they could spend a weekend with the celebrity chef at her home in East Hampton, New York.

5. Lemon Cake

It takes 90 minutes from start to finish to make Garten's Lemon Cake. With five stars and 548 reviews on Food Network's website, the sweet treat can be made using a handful of basic ingredients.

According to Garten's recipe, it requires butter, eggs, sugar, lemons, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. It's topped with a lemony, powdered sugar glaze. The only ingredient that might require a trip to the grocery store is buttermilk. Garten uses ¾ of a cup in the cake.  

This is a classic Barefoot Contessa recipe. Garten included the Lemon Cake in her second cookbook, 2001's Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really Fun. And, as she said during an early episode of Barefoot Contessa — so early she's wearing a white button-down shirt instead of her signature blue — "if you can make this lemon cake you can make any cake."

4. Blueberry Crumb Cake

Another lemony dessert that gets high marks from Barefoot Contessa fans is Garten's Blueberry Crumb Cake. It's her fourth most popular dessert recipe with 564 reviews and five stars. The celebrity chef first introduced the recipe in her 2006 cookbook, Barefoot Contessa at Home.

What sets this cake apart is that it has a crumbly, streusel topping. It takes 40 minutes in the oven and about 20 to prepare. The recipe requires blueberries, sour cream, lemons, and cake basics such as flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Garten recommends leaving the butter on the counter overnight, which makes for a light cake.

3. Carrot and Pineapple Cake

Leave it to Garten to put a unique spin on a classic carrot cake. The Barefoot Contessa's third most popular dessert is her Carrot and Pineapple Cake. It has 631 reviews on Food Network's website and averages five stars. 

Unlike many of Garten's other cakes, this one uses oil instead of butter in the batter. But the rest of the cake is standard Barefoot Contessa. Garten sifts the dry ingredients and warns not to overmix the batter or else the flour will get tough. She adds raisins, walnuts, and carrots to the mixture before cooking the cakes. And she tops it off with a classic cream cheese frosting.

2. Lemon Yogurt Cake

Garten loves lemon in desserts and this cake is no exception. Her Lemon Yogurt Cake has 777 reviews and averages five stars. Similar to the previously mentioned Lemon Cake, this one relies on whole-milk yogurt for flavor instead of buttermilk. 

Another dish found in Barefoot Contessa At Home, this is a classic recipe of Garten's. It's been around for years and is clearly a fan favorite. What's unusual about this recipe is that the celebrity chef doesn't start with butter. Instead, she uses vegetable oil.

1. Beatty's Chocolate Cake

Finally, the most popular dessert of Garten's is her chocolate cake. It has a whopping 2,349 five-star reviews. It's another recipe the celebrity chef included in her Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook. 

For chocolate lovers, Beatty's Chocolate Cake is a rich and decadent dessert. Garten uses coffee to up the intensity of the chocolate flavor in the batter. Once the cake's out of the oven, she tops it with a buttercream frosting using "good" semisweet chocolate.

Chef Jamie Gwen shares delicious recipes for that air fryer you don’t know what to do with - KTLA

Posted: 24 Jan 2021 02:04 PM PST

If you received an air fryer for the holidays that's still sitting in the box, Chef Jamie Gwen is here to the rescue. On KTLA Weekend Morning News, she shares simple and delicious air fryer recipes to take you from breakfast through dinner and dessert. Recipes reproduced below by permission of Chef Jamie using products from Ralphs, Melissa's Produce, and Kalorik Air Fryers.

AIR FRYER BAGELS

If you have 3 simple ingredients, an air fryer and 20 minutes, you can make bagels at home!

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Toppings: Everything seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, salt, etc.

In a mixing bowl combine the flour and yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.

Lightly dust additional flour on a work surface and remove the dough from the bowl. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into a 1/2-inch round, to form bagels. Cut a circle from the middle of each bagel, using a pastry tip or cookie cutter. Brush the top of each bagel with egg wash and sprinkle with the seasoning of your choice.

Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of your air fryer basket. Place the bagels on the parchment in a single layer and air fry at 330ºF for 18 minutes or until cooked through, turning the bagels over at the 10-minute mark. Cool and eat! Makes 4 bagels.


AIR FRYER GAME DAY NACHOS

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't love nachos! For the big game, football parties, Taco Tuesday and more, these pantry-based nachos air fry in 3-minutes, so you'll never have to make your fans wait!

  • 3 cups tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup canned fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
  • 4 ounces canned fire-roasted green chilies
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican Blend cheese
  • green onions, sour cream & avocado

Using the barrel pan included in your air fryer, begin by placing a single layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the pan (you will create 3 layers). Top with 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the diced tomatoes, 1/3 of the green chilies and 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat to make 3 layers total, ending with the toppings and the cheese.

Air Fry at 360ºF for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serves 2.


AIR FRYER PARMESAN PORK CHOPS

Juicy, tender and bursting with flavor.

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick

  • 2 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • salt and freshly ground pepper

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and rub them all over with olive oil.

In a shallow bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder and parsley. Dip each pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture and coat well on both sides.

Place the pork chops in your air fryer in a single layer; depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Spray the pork chops on both sides with olive oil cooking spray.

Air fry at 360ºF for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145ºF. Serves 4.


AIR FRIED BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER with HOMEMADE RANCH

  • 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • dash of Worcestershire Sauce

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Combine the hot sauce, melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower florets and toss well to coat.

Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 375ºF for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and just tender. Serve with homemade ranch. Serves 4 as an appetizer.


HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING

Zesty and herbaceous, this dressing comes together in no time.

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

AIR FRYER BROWN SUGAR APPLE CRISP

Savor the season and embrace the beauty of a bevy of apple varieties with this simple and satisfying dessert made easy in your air fryer.

  • FILLING:
    • 4 apples – peeled, cored and sliced 1/2-thick
    • juice of half a lemon
    • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl and toss to combine well.

Meanwhile, make the topping by combining the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in another mixing bowl. Mix to combine well. Add 5 tablespoons of the cold butter and using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resemble coarse crumbs.

Spray the baking pan from your air fryer with non-stick cooking spray and pile the apples in the pan. Top the apples with the topping and dot the crisp with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.

Air fry at 370ºF for 16 minutes or until the topping is golden and the apple mixture is bubbling.

Spoon the crisp into bowls and top with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or whipped cream. Serves 4.
