Taylor Swift joined her ‘hero’ Ina Garten in a Food Network Magazine’s special issue that paired up culinary stars with their musician friends. The affection is mutual; Swift owns the complete collection of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks, and Garten owns all of the country-pop singer’s albums.
Barefoot Contessa and the Nashville native laughed about dieting over mustard-roasted fish, berry-topped pavlova, and Ina’s favorite drink — Whiskey sours. Their mutual love of food was evident.
“I’ll cook for these boys, and they’ll be like, ‘I’m on a diet’,” the singer says, “I’m like, ‘I can’t hang out with you.'”
