Beatty’s Chocolate Cake
This is chocolate therapy. It is a rich, moist masterpiece with a secret weapon: coffee. Coffee deepens the cocoa flavor, making every bite taste like a hug from the dessert gods. No wonder it has a five-star rating and a cult following.
Perfect Roast Chicken
Forget fancy techniques—Ina’s roast chicken is pure and effortless. Lemon, garlic, and thyme create crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast it once, and you’ll never settle for mediocre poultry again. The warm aroma makes it impossible to wait for dinner as it roasts.
Weeknight Bolognese
Ever wish for a bolognese that tastes like it simmered all day but comes together in under an hour? This rich, meaty sauce delivers. A splash of red wine and a handful of Parmesan work magic, giving you all the depth of flavor with none of the wait.
Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Tossed in olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of sea salt, these roasted potatoes hit the perfect balance—crispy on the outside and buttery soft inside. Serve them up, and don’t be surprised if they disappear before the main course even lands on the table.
Mac And Cheese
Ina gives a childhood classic a glow-up with sharp cheddar, Gruyere, and a crispy breadcrumb topping. Cheesy and perfectly golden, this dish proves that mac and cheese is for anyone who loves happiness in a bowl.
‘Outrageous’ Brownies
These aren’t your average brownies. Packed with chocolate, butter, a sneaky hint of coffee, and a touch of vanilla, they deliver deep, intense flavor in every bite. With over 800 five-star reviews, they’ve officially reached legendary status. Consider yourself warned.
Turkey Meatloaf
Who knew Meatloaf could be a game-changer? Ina’s version swaps beef for turkey, and keeps things juicy with sauteed onions and Worcestershire sauce. She finishes it up with a ketchup glaze. It serves a crowd and tastes like pure nostalgia.
Spring Green Spaghetti Carbonara
Brighten up your carbonara with a burst of spring flavors. Fresh peas, asparagus, and a touch of lemon zest add a seasonal spin to the creamy classic. Tossed with pancetta and Parmesan, this version keeps the richness you love while embracing the vibrancy of fresh ingredients in every bite.
Oven-Fried Chicken
Say goodbye to oil splatters—Ina’s trick for ultra-crispy chicken is all in the mustard and white wine marinade. It locks in moisture while delivering a flavor-packed crunch. The best part? No deep-frying is required. Your stovetop thanks you.
Cacio E Pepe Roasted Asparagus
Roasted asparagus reaches new heights with generous Parmesan and cracked black pepper dusting. The result? an irresistibly savory, perfectly tender, and bursting with bold flavor. Once you try it this way, there’s no turning back.
