The more the merrier? Not amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Fewer people are gathering around the table for the holidays because of social distancing and sheltering-in-place guidelines. But small parties can still be special – just ask Ina Garten.
Last month, the cookbook author and Food Network host, known to fans as the Barefoot Contessa, embraced a #MicroThanksgiving, a scaled-down celebration as a result of the pandemic. She made an 8-pound turkey, which she paired with sides like herb and apple bread pudding and chipotle smashed sweet potatoes. Those who follow Garten would not be surprised that her husband, Jeffrey, enjoyed the meal. "He thinks whatever I've just made is the most delicious thing he's ever had," she says with a laugh.
