Like many famous chefs, Ina Garten really made a name for herself on the Food Network. However, unlike many other chefs, Ina Garten made a career for herself under a pseudonym, the Barefoot Contessa.
On Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten won the hearts of the nation with tons of delicious recipes, and straightforward instructions that made cooking and baking achievable for even those without much cooking experience.
One type of food that Ina Garten produced lots of excellent recipes for is pies. There really isn’t anything better than a baking hot pie on a cold afternoon, and it is the perfect dessert to serve on your Thanksgiving table.
The first Ina Garten pie recipe that we would recommend checking out is this delicious blueberry pie.

We love Ina Garten’s recipe simply because it is such a simple recipe. You don’t need too many ingredients to make this recipe, and that is what makes it so special.
The majority of the ingredients you will need can be used to make the pastry, and there are only a couple needed for the filing – including the secret ingredient.
This pie comes with a little kick to it, and we love that! This kick comes from a single tablespoon of Cassis liqueur that is added to the filling.
It really diversifies the flavor and sets this blueberry pie apart from its competitors.
One of the most classic pie fillings out there is apple pie, so it makes sense that Ina Garten has created an apple pie recipe (see also: 7 Best Ina Garten Apple Pie Recipes To Try Today)during her lengthy career.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Was The Name of Ina Garten’s Food Network Show?
Ina Garten leads a relatively quiet life for a celebrity chef. She doesn’t have a restaurant bearing her name, she hasn’t produced any cookware, and her appearances are limited.
But this hasn’t stopped Ina Garten from becoming one of the richest female chefs in the world.
Her television show “Barefoot Contessa” is largely responsible for her success. However, she never would have achieved the TV show if it wasn’t for her cookbooks that came before.
Why Is Ina Garten’s Show Called Barefoot Contessa?
Ina Garten’s television show, Barefoot Contessa, was given this name because of the phrase featured in her first cookbook. The term “barefoot Contessa” comes from the Italian word for countess, and she first used it in her 1999 cookbook.
The phrase used in her cookbook actually came from the name of her first specialty food store, Barefoot Contessa, which she had owned before becoming the celebrity chef that we know and love today.
