If Ina Garten has one pet peeve, it’s the phrase season to taste. “If you don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like, how are you supposed to season to taste?” she asks of the way that most recipes are written, with a hint of exasperation in her voice.

When Ina writes a cookbook, she wants you to feel like she’s in the kitchen right there with you. That’s why her latest cookbook, Cook Like a Pro, is sprinkled with tips that she’s picked up from personal experience, or from other culinary legends that she’s befriended along the way. Her goal is to ensure that the final dish tastes more than just good; she wants you to taste her food and say wow. And we do.

Ina’s exacting standards (down to how much salt you should sprinkle on a dish) are how she’s become one of the most trusted recipe developers on the planet. They’re why more than one-and-a-half-million people follow her on Instagram to watch her explain the best method to cut a head of cauliflower or toast croutons. They’re why she’s currently on the road promoting her eleventh cookbook, Cook Like a Pro. And they’re why her food always leaves people wanting seconds (or, in this case, elevenths).

I got a chance to chat with Ina in the midst of all the new cookbook promo to talk about what makes this cookbook different. Read on to find out Jeffrey’s favorite recipe in this cookbook, the recipe that’s eluded her for six years (!), which store-bought ingredients that she considers fine, and why she’ll never run out of cookbook ideas.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
