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 then welcomes culinary entrepreneur Danny Meyer to dish about the highs and lows of the restaurant world over Croissants and Smoked Salmon served with delicious Vanilla Coffee Shakerato; shares amazing stories with journalist Frank Bruni as they enjoy her foolproof Gruyere and Herb Omelet with fresh herbs from her garden.
