I love testing Ina Garten's recipes, and I made over a dozen new ones this year.
I was a huge fan of her breakfast dishes, including scrambled eggs cacio e pepe.

Ina Garten is my favorite celebrity chef, and every year I set out to learn new dishes from her extensive repertoire.

In 2023, I dove through "Go-To Dinners," her most recent cookbook, and explored some of her earliest recipes.

While I loved almost everything I tried — like her weeknight pasta and watermelon cosmo — these are the five dishes I know I'll be making again and again in 2024.
