I've made more than 30 of Ina Garten's recipes, and some of her dishes are perfect for summer.
Garten's Greek orzo salad and summer garden pasta are the best light and fresh dinners.
Ina Garten is one of my favorite celebrity chefs, and I've whipped up dozens of her breakfast, pasta, and dessert recipes while teaching myself how to cook over the last few years.
Garten has delicious dishes for every season, and some of my favorite "Barefoot Contessa" recipes are perfect for summer. They can be enjoyed every month of the year, but I think you'll especially love them in these last few weeks of the sunny season.
From a pasta that will blow your mind to a cake that makes grown men weep, these are Ina Garten's best summer dishes.
