  • Ina Garten is here to remind you that this Thanksgiving, store-bought is just fine. To make the holiday easier for home cooks, we asked the culinary contessa to create a menu that lets premade ingredients do much of the work. Follow along at Ina’s East Hampton home as she shows us the new recipes she came up with: Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, Chunky Cranberry Sauce, Mushroom and Gruyère Bread Pudding, Make-Ahead Roast Turkey and Gravy With Onions and Sage, Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie, and - of course - Cranberry Martinis.

    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!

    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!

  • @victoriamahon3765

    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.

      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😂

    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.

    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.

    Garten is hilarious. People have already been doing this since the 70’s. My mother used to call it “doctoring” or a “doctored” this or that. Adding quality bits to an already prepared product elevates it all. One year I took 4 wild rice pre par cooked packets mixed it with a bag 3 bags of seasoned stuffing, chopped 3 cans tinned chestnuts, sautéed celery & onions, olive oil, some orange zest some pumpkin pie spice garlic salt , chopped parsley, cracked pepper, chicken stock and threw in the whole thing of some precooked bacon chopped up. And BAM. People thought I slaved over it all. The hardest part was the sauté of the veg. It was that easy literally mixing the entire thing in the same baking dish.
