Ina Garten and Anderson Cooper each love this straightforward ease and comfort food items
Ina Garten literally wrote the guide on consolation food. Her latest cookbook, “Fashionable Comfort Food items,” has rapid turn out to be our go-to, and its warm and hearty recipes have by no means been more desired. In a recent job interview, Garten caught up with CNN’s Anderson Cooper during his demonstrate, “Comprehensive Circle,” and talked about all things food items. And throughout their dialogue, the two recognized they share a really like of just one conventional — and, for quite a few of us, nostalgic — convenience foodstuff: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It is a typical foodstuff lots of of us grew up having on the daily, and whipping one particular up normally takes about a moment. Simple, speedy, and simple? We truly feel comforted currently.
In the clip, Cooper — a notoriously (and self-professed) picky eater — shares a story with our Barefoot Contessa queen about a conversation he and his late mother Gloria Vanderbilt experienced about the meals a handful of yrs back again. “I was conversing to my mom on the phone and I stated, you know, ‘I rediscovered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and they’re so good’ and basically she explained, ‘Darling that’s astounding I just rediscovered them as very well!’ and she had seemingly been ingesting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch,” he laughs.
That is when Garten shared her very own really like of fantastic ole PB&J. In simple fact, the chef observed it so comforting, she admitted that she and her husband Jeffrey ate the sandwich routinely amid the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown.
“In the starting of the pandemic that is what Jeffrey and I had also,” Ina reveals. “And I never think I might ever had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich — my mom under no circumstances produced them — and we were being just like ‘This is wonderful!'” What?! How Garten has long gone this lengthy with no striving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, we will under no circumstances know. But we’re thrilled she’s as a lot of a admirer as we are.
While Garten may well have just not long ago rediscovered the typical PB&J sammy, she’s plainly long-common with its much more decadent cousin, the PB&J bar.
Garten’s Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars recipe can be identified on line and is also involved in her 2006 cookbook, “Barefoot Contessa at Household.” What greater time to attempt these out than now as we proceed to stay household for the duration of getaway baking time?
