Ina Garten’s Easter Menu Is Out, and We Found the Kitchen Gear You Need to Recreate It
Spring is just around the corner, which means many of us are eagerly anticipating seeing what Ina Garten’s Easter menu is going to be. We’re all in luck, as Garten has finally shared the menu. As usual, it’s a showstopping collection, from the festive drink right down to the seasonally fitting dessert.
Garten is sharing her Easter dinner recipes on Williams Sonoma and you’ll want to add some or all of them to your own menu. From the rosé sangria you can be sipping on throughout the meal to munching on the spinach in puff pastry appetizers while waiting for dinner to be served. The main course starts off with an iceberg salad with blue cheese, and then goes into parmesan chive smashed potatoes, asparagus and prosciutto bundles, orange marmalade glazed ham, and a side of buttermilk biscuits. The meal is rounded off with Garten’s recipe for carrot cake with ginger mascarpone frosting. It’s a mouthwatering menu that requires a few cookware items to make it. This is why we’ve rounded up eight of the pieces you’ll need to recreate it, Ina Garten-style. Shop top brands like KitchenAid, All-Clad, Wüsthof, and more, starting at $9.
