Star Kitchen: Ina Garten

Ina Garten calls this kitchen "the barn," but it smells so much better than the name implies: When you're sitting at the counter in the summer, the scent of lavender wafts in from the garden and mixes with whatever she's cooking that day — in Food Network Magazine's case, pizza and salted caramels.

This extra-large basket is meant for firewood but Ina uses it for oversized cutting boards and cooling racks, so they're hidden but still easy to reach.

Ina prefers the soft light of table lamps to harsh overhead kitchen lights. "It really warms up the counter," she says.

This white cabinet is Ina's refrigerator; its twin is at the other end. She also has two dishwashers under the island where she's standing; they're smartly placed opposite the cabinets, rather than underneath them, for easy unloading.
