Leading up to Thanksgiving, we took a trip to the home of Ina Garten, the legendary cookbook author and TV star. For one glorious afternoon, the Barefoot Contessa gave us a master class on the art of hosting. She answered our questions big and small — seating arrangements, whether to have bread at the table, what to do with that difficult relative, how to zest correctly. Plus, she walked us through two of her signature recipes, which you can enjoy this holiday. For photos and recipes from our visit with Ina Garten, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

Can I get you a tushy warmer?
Yes, please.
I started out on a very long drive with my colleagues Paige Cowett, Wendy Dore, and Tina Antolini.
But I feel like I probably should have gone left.
We should probably go to the bqe.
Yeah.
And our destination was the home of a person who has very much been having a moment.
Okay, so so far, not much traffic.
And that is the cook, television host and creator of her own media empire, Ina Garden, AKA the Barefoot Contessa.
This is Billy Joel singing about the island.
We're on Mr.
