Ina Garten Just Shared Her Most Sought-After Winter Recipe—and It’s the Perfect Cozy Meal

I adore Ina Garten’s take-it-easy philosophy on dinner parties—which includes choosing a menu that’s super simple to make, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen all night. And on a recent Instagram post, she shared the perfect winter meal that’s dinner party ready (though I’ll be just fine with serving it for my family and having leftovers the next day, too).

Her favorite winter dinner recipe? Red wine-braised short ribs (which can be made ahead and reheated, or simmering on the stove when your guests arrive), paired with creamy polenta (or even just crusty bread!) and roasted broccolini. She finishes the meal with coffee granita for dessert—which looks impressive, and can be prepped ahead as well.

It’s the kind of meal that looks and tastes divine, and also helps your home smell delicious and inviting when your guests arrive. Plus, it keeps your time in the kitchen to a minimum so you can enjoy the party, too.

If you’re not feeling that wintry dinner party menu, she also shared another (mostly) make-ahead option, with skillet roasted lemon chicken, a potato galette, and salted caramel brownies for dessert.

Just add in a little ice cream over the top of those brownies, and you’re definitely going to wow your guests.
