In this episode of ‘Be My Guest,’ Ina Garten invites acclaimed author Ann Patchett to her barn for a delightful blend of literary discussion and culinary exploration.
Inspired by the cherry orchard setting of Patchett’s novel “Tom Lake,” Garten prepares a rustic Cherry Clafouti. Their conversation flows from Patchett’s upbringing to her writing process, touching upon the journey to nine bestselling books and the motivations behind opening Parnassus Books in Nashville.
The literary feast is complemented by a culinary one, featuring a dual take on a grain salad: Charlie Bird’s Farro Salad enhanced with Garten’s Jammy Eggs, alongside Patchett’s preferred Roasted Cauliflower.
This episode gives us a unique glimpse into the life and inspirations of a literary icon, seasoned with Garten’s signature warmth and culinary expertise.
