Ina Garten's New Cookbook Is Finally Out And It Features Her Take On Classic Comfort Foods
Update, October 7, 2020: Ina Garten is here to save our 2020, and we're not just talking about her giant Cosmos. Her twelfth cookbook, Modern Comfort Food, is officially available for purchase after she pushed up the release date in May.
Modern Comfort Food includes recipes that offer Ina's take on classic meals like hamburgers, hash browns, and grilled cheese. The cookbook was initially intended to hit shelves on October 27, but in May, the Barefoot Contessa announced she was pushing up the date to October 6 because, in her words, "we all need it ASAP." Although it was just released yesterday, it's already a best-seller on Amazon so...enough said.
To celebrate the launch, Ina's even having a virtual book tour in collaboration with Williams Sonoma that will include guest appearances by Katie Couric and Jennifer Garner.
Update, September 2, 2020: A new press release for Ina's forthcoming cookbook explains how quar-friendly the recipes we can expect are: "People might not be entertaining, but they are cooking and cooking for people they love. Modern Comfort Food is a return to our soul satisfying favorites, foods that make us feel safe and looked-after."
It also listed quite a few recipes we'd not yet heard about. Come October 6, we're getting Ina's take on Cheddar & Chutney Grilled Cheese, Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions, Baked Rigatoni with Lamb Ragu, and Waffle Iron Hashbrowns, to name just a few.
And suddenly, I'm sitting here waiting on October to get here.
Update, May 5, 2020: Ina Garten announced that her latest cookbook was in the works back in early March, and now there's even better news to get us through the next few months: Modern Comfort Food, which was originally set to be released on October 27, will officially be out on October 6.

Ina shared a photo of the new cookbook's cover and explained that the release date is being pushed up. "Because we all need it ASAP, we decided to move up the publication date of my new book MODERN COMFORT FOOD to October 6th," she wrote in the caption.
She even posted a few photos of the recipes that will be inside, like black and white cookies and creamy tomato bisque, and those pictures are sure to convince you that you need to preorder this cookbook ASAP.
Until then, you can follow along with her quarantine cooking posts on Instagram and celebrate the new release day with a giant cocktail. It's what Ina would want.
Original Post, March 4, 2020: Ina Garten is blessing our kitchens and our bookshelves once again with yet another cookbook. We can barely keep up, but will definitely be preordering because, well, this is Ina we're talking about. The cookbook's name and release date is finally public, and Modern Comfort Food will be out in October 2020. Mark your calendars!
This will be the twelfth cookbook under Ina's belt and will feature 85 new recipes. The publisher, Penguin Random House, has information about the cookbook posted on its site, but the cover has not yet been revealed. According to the bio, some of the recipes are inspired by childhood favorites. Foods like Cheddar and Chutney Grilled Cheese sandwiches and Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions will be included.
We know that Ina loves to help us be the hostess with the mostest, so the book will also have dishes meant for bigger crowds like Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas and Roasted Sausages, Peppers, and Onion. If these savory foods have you thinking about dessert, no need to worry because Ina is sharing her Boston Cream Pie and Black and White cookies recipes. Not to mention, Modern Comfort Food will have cocktails suggestions, too!
Modern Comfort Food will be officially released on October 27, so you still have a few months of anticipation left. In the meantime, you might as well perfect recipes from her classics like Make It Ahead and Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics. No worries, though, you can already preorder Modern Comfort Food to ensure you get your hands on a copy as soon as they come out.
