The Chew: Ina Garten’s Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad

Ina Garten admitted that she will sometimes prepare a new recipe three times before she serves it to her husband Jeffrey. Instead of making him the guinea pig, she wants to be sure she gets the dish right before he digs in. Ina also shared that she never truly gets angry at people, stating brilliantly “once you raise your voice, you lose the argument.” The author of “Cooking for Jeffrey” clearly has her life together! It goes without saying that what Ina’s best at, is cooking. She joined Clinton Kelly with a recipe for Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad, which is one of her favorites to serve her loyal husband.
