Move over Julie & Julia, here comes Trent & Ina
November 11, 2020 by DarcieCookbook lovers no doubt remember the movie Julie & Julia, an adaptation of the book Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. The smash hit revolved around a blogger who set out to cook every recipe from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking in one year. Following in these footstep, another blogger is doing something quite similar with Ina Garten’s recipes.
Trent Pheifer, a nonprofit worker who lives in New York, started his “Store Bought Is Fine” project in late 2015. On his blog and on Instagram (where he has more than 31,000 followers), Pheifer shares his recreations of Ina’s recipes. He’s already made over 1,000 of them! While I have been a fan of many recipe writers, I do not have the dedication it takes to devote myself to making recipes almost exclusively from one author. But if you are going to choose just one person whose food you cook, you could do far worse than Ina Garten, who has published 11 bestselling cookbooks.
In an interview with Food52, Pheifer explains that as he started the project “the initial concept was to put pictures of my horrible food next to her gorgeous-looking professional photos, but that kind of fell by the wayside over time.” At his current pace of 4-5 recipes per week, Pheifer estimates that he will have finished cooking all of Ina’s recipes in another year or so.
