The Barefoot Contessa Returns with Season 7 of “Be My Guest” Featuring an All-Star Lineup

The renowned “Barefoot Contessa,” Ina Garten, is set to welcome back fans of her beloved show “Be My Guest With Ina Garten” for another exciting season this fall, featuring a fresh lineup of celebrity guests. The new season kicks off on October 19 at 11 a.m. ET on Food Network, followed by streaming availability on HBO Max the next day.

Season 7 will debut with the exceptionally witty comedian Tina Fey gracing Garten’s East Hampton home. Ina and her husband, Jeffrey, will prepare delectable meals while engaging in delightful conversations. Future episodes will feature an array of captivating personalities including actress Christine Baranski from “The Gilded Age,” world-renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman, and esteemed fashion designer Daniel Roseberry.

According to Food Network’s description, the premiere episode welcomes Tina with a scrumptious Breakfast Panna Cotta—a nod to her love for custard desserts. During their time together, Tina shares personal stories, memorable standup experiences, and anecdotes from her travels with close friend Amy Poehler. The pair will then collaborate in the kitchen to whip up an inviting dinner featuring Tina’s Greek Lemon Potatoes paired with Ina’s Chicken Thighs in Creamy Mustard Sauce.

As the season unfolds, look forward to Baranski enjoying Maple-Oatmeal Scones, Perlman sampling Potato Galette with Smoked Salmon, and Roseberry trying out a delightful Tri-Berry Ricotta Cake.

Ina Garten, the New York Times bestselling author of 13 cookbooks and the treasured host of “Barefoot Contessa,” continues to inspire home cooks. Her memoir, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens,” is set for release in 2024.

Garten expressed her enthusiasm about the season: “I love the extraordinary range of my guests, from comedians like Tina Fey and Christine Baranski to the talented violinist Itzhak Perlman and couturier Daniel Roseberry. Sharing their stories over delicious food is an experience not to be missed—especially Itzhak’s scrambled eggs with caramelized onions!”

According to Betsy Ayala, the head of food content at Warner Bros. Discovery, “’Be My Guest’ offers an intimate glimpse into Ina’s life filled with fantastic food and fascinating friends. Our audience cherishes the moments they spend with her, discovering new stories and recipes each season.”
