Soup shouldn't be confined to the starters -- it's a one-pot wonder that makes for a delicious, hearty meal that can be made in advance. Ina's road testing two of her favorites.

Truman Capote wowed Society with his Back and White ball and now Ina's wowing her friends with a Black and White supper for the author of a new book about this renowned character and high profile event.

Even man's best friend deserves a treat on his birthday! Ina decides to throw a party for her favorite pooch and his owners on the beach.

Ina's friend's daughter is studying really hard at college, so she invites her and her two lovely friends to her home from home for some fabulous home cooked food.

Ina Garten's going to be away for the night. She cooks Jeffrey a great supper and breakfast so he'll want for nothing in her absence, but she suspects he'll skip the main course and go straight for dessert!

Ina's friends from LA are coming to town, which gives her the perfect excuse to whip up a classy supper.

Ina enjoys a girls day off with 2 of her closest friends. She prepares a pre-shopping snack before heading to Main street for some serious retail therapy and then rustles up a light lunch to compare purchases.

Jeffrey's signed a book deal - so Ina throws him a surprise, celebration dinner for two made up of all the things he loves best - French Bistro style food and a classic cocktail to kick start the party.

Ina Garten's invited her editor and friend, Stephen, over for dinner with a bunch of her new colleagues. What better way than by throwing an Italian-American dinner with Spaghetti, Meatballs and make-your-own ice cream sodas?
