Be My Guest with Ina Garten

Ina welcomes Jon Batiste with Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars for a taste of nostalgia before their memorable conversation begins. Jon shares secret superpowers to stay strong in the face of adversity and talks about once-in-a-lifetime performances and making Grammy history. The musical maestro also takes over the kitchen and teaches Ina how to make his Ma's famous Louisiana-Style Red Beans and Rice.

Hoda Kotb's visit begins with Ina showing her how to assemble an Easy Mezze Board with Marinated Herbed Feta. They talk memories, game-changing moments and momentous career decisions before heading to the kitchen for a master class in fried chicken – Hoda's favorite dish. 

Michael Barbaro, journalist and co-host of The New York Times award-winning news podcast, "The Daily," is joining Ina Garten for a perfect day of cooking and conversation at the barn. To greet him, Ina makes Spicy Hermit Bars with ginger and molasses, two flavors Michael loves. Then, Ina turns the tables, and Michael's in the interview hot seat, sharing the secrets of The Daily's phenomenal success, his storytelling tactics, unique style, and off-duty life. Finally, Michael loves to cook, so Ina shows him an updated Chicken Marbella that's perfect for easy entertaining, and in return, he gives Ina a cocktail master class, mixing up an Old Fashioned, his go-to cocktail specialty.
