In the season premiere, it's a perfect day for Ina when her friend Jennifer Garner joins her at the barn for cooking and conversation. Since Jennifer mentions she has trouble nailing her grandmother's cornbread recipe, Ina troubleshoots with her incredible Brown Butter Skillet Cornbread. After discussing family, love and childhood memories, they head into the kitchen for a pizza collaboration to create the ultimate Garner and Garten Pizza and Jen's Pizza Crackers.

Ina greets astronaut Nicole Mann with the smell of freshly baked Apple Crostata, which she craved while commanding the International Space Station, and they discuss her groundbreaking career and family life.

Restaurateur Danny Meyer joins Ina Garten at the barn for conversation, croissants and smoked salmon, and vanilla coffee shakerato; they dish over the restaurant trade before Danny prepares his orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage.

Ina Garten is having a blast at the barn when Frank Bruni, the award-winning journalist, restaurant critic, author and professor, shares his amazing life story and a killer Boulevardier cocktail to be served alongside Ina's Parmesan Thyme Crackers. They discuss life, love, career highs, personal lows and their passion for food. Then, Ina treats Frank to a fool-proof Gruyere and Herb Omelet lesson that uses fresh herbs from her garden.

Emily Mortimer joins Ina Garten for a day of cooking and conversation. Ina makes Emily a comforting Ravioli en Brodo while they discuss career challenges, and the two swap lessons in English Yorkshire Pudding and American Brunch Boards.

It's a dream come true for Ina when she invites Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist David Remnick to the barn. Ina welcomes him with Overnight Belgian Waffles and hosts a Parmesan Chicken cooking class before dinner in the garden.
