Since I only got through about 1/4 of the show, I won't comment on anything that may have come after that. I did record her Paris special, though, and sat down to watch it the other night. I've been so swamped with work that I haven't had time to watch Ina for a long time. chessiegal-did you write down the name of all these places so you can visit them? Made me want to go back :>) Edited Februby annzeepark914
There are a lot of people of his stature who aren't fun to be around but I think I'd enjoy sharing a meal with him and Ina. They could get out of the wind when they wanted to eat (or get warm) and stand up and enjoy the exhilaration of being out on the water on a brisk day. Wish I had gone to Poillane while in Paris. Loved the cooking sessions with the young chefs - especially the guy who owns Spring and the story of how they met-funny! I would think that the fish would need to marinate a bit longer in the lemon/lime juices in order to "cook".but they seemed to enjoy it. I saw the Paris special this morning and loved it! My only wish is that they'd left out the whiskey sour making and shown more of Paris (and tell viewers who don't know Paris very well which section the stores/restaurants were in). Ina said that she and Jeffrey went out one night in search of the perfect whiskey sour and ended up drinking six. When one of the chefs told Ina, "This will serve four French people and two Americans." That dessert bought for Jeffrey's birthday looked scrumptous!
I thought that "Jeffrey hates surprises." (So why do it for the millionth time?) The boat ride might have been fun, but that water looked terribly rough and choppy. Jeffrey was sent on another shopping trip another one of "surprise picnics." Ina: "Who knows what he'll come up with." (It's pretty hard to screw up buying wine and cheese in Paris, which Jeffrey more or less admitted.) Ina (in the sous chef role): "I feel like a nurse." The French version of the lobster roll looked good. The part I liked best was when Ina visited the couple from Boston who had relocated to Paris and had the Brooklyn-type deli. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was bored. It wasn't as disappointing as the Christmas special, but a close second.
