Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract
You know Ina likes the good vanilla, and she stocks her cupboard with this fragrant extract from Nielsen-Massey.
Clabber Girl Baking Powder
Ina uses Davis baking powder, which is made by Clabber Girl. Either brand will churn out high-quality baked goods.
Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce
It’s easy to make tomato sauce from scratch, but when you don’t have time, Rao’s is one of the best brand of jarred sauces around – at least, Ina thinks so!
De Cecco Spaghetti
De Cecco’s spaghetti is slow dried and has a slightly rough texture, perfect for soaking up sauce, thanks to the bronze-drawing process they use to shape their noodles.
Barilla Pasta Thin Spaghetti
Barilla’s non-GMO spaghetti and pasta make putting together quick recipes a cinch.
Farro
Ina gets her farro from Citarella, a shop that has locations in New York City and the Hamptons, where she lives. If you can’t make it there, try this farro from Bob’s Red Mill.
Gelatine
There are so many uses for gelatine. You can make desserts like cheesecake, sweet treats like gummies and even Jello shots.
