Ina Garten guides you through gourmet meals set against a Hampton's backdrop. Learn easy entertaining, including how to prepare the most elegant table settings, select the best floral arrangements, and prepare a catering-inspired feast that your guests won't soon forget.

Gordon Ramsay is much less of a calming force than Mrs. Garten, but he'll scare you straight into top-notch cooking. In Hell's Kitchen, only the best of the best make it through. If your soufflé doesn't rise, you're out. If your veggies aren't perfectly julienned, you can kiss your prize goodbye.

best pizza joints on the planet, or the best BBQ joints, or the best anything joints.
