I've been a fan of Ina's for several years and thought it would be fun to feature one of her recipes for Foodie Friday, and also have a Give Away featuring items that one MIGHT find Ina using on her kitchen island. The lucky winner will be able to choose one of the items I've featured below.
First the Give Away ~ Then a link to the Berry Crumble
The Give Away
Recently, when I was offered a chance to have a give-away for my followers featuring the counter stools (click to link) , I jumped at the chance!
I've grown a little tired of our counter stools on my own kitchen island, and have my eye on a couple of styles of Counter Stools ~
There are over 1,500 styles to choose from, and free shipping on most: here are several that immediately caught my eye.
If you're shopping for counter stools, I suggest you check them out.
I was allowed to choose a selection of items so the winner of the give-away can pick one gift from my choices. And I'm happy to announce that the give-away is open to entrants in the USA and Canada.




For the Give-Away I selected items that one just
MIGHT find on Ina's kitchen island as she preps food, or entertains friends.
She acutually does use some of these items on her FoodNetwork episodes. I also have some of these pieces in my own collection (you'll probably recognize them) and I can recommend them highly. Others are what I consider "Barefoot Contessa"-style, and are on my own wish list.
The winner will be allowed to pick ONE of these items ~ I hope you'll find something you like!



Pillivuyt (Made in France) Porcelain Cake Pedestal
Not only for cake, tortes, quiches and other desserts ~ it's a wonderful serving piece for a selection of cheeses and appetizers. (Prize is for ONE pedestal)


Pillivuyt (Made in France) Oval Baking Dish
(The give-away is for ONE dish; the 60 ounce capacity size)

Set of two Le Creuset stoneware, rectangular baking dishes in Caribbean Blue.
Large is 10.5"x7" ~ Small is 7"x5"



Vic Firth 8" Maple Pepper Mill


Vic Firth "Mario Batali" edition Signature Pepper Mill.
Choice of Mario's orange, or white:






Le Creuset Petite covered individual casseroles (5 ounce capacity each)
Choice of a set of 2 of the following colors:

Caribbean Blue
or
Cobalt Blue
or
Cherry Red
If you prefer enameled cast iron:
Set of 2 NapaStyle Mini Cast Iron Bakers in Wood Crate


La Rochere (Made in France) 12 ounce Tumblers, Bee Motif (Set of 6)
These are made of heavier glass.

or


La Rochere (Made in France) 13.5 ounce Drinking Glass, Bee Motif (Set of 6)
(More delicate than the 12 ounce size.)

La Rochere 9 ounce glasses.
These work perfectly as juice glasses, wine, water, and I even have used them for serving individual desserts. (Set of 6)

La Rochere 8 ounce stemmed glasses.
These are heavy duty, I love to use them for water, wine, hot coffee drinks, or juices. They are perfect for dining al fresco, too.
(Set of 6)

NordicWare Non-stick Mini-Bundt Brownie Pan.
This is the pan I use for making my little Pumpkin-Spice cakes (click to link).
Perfect for Lemon Drizzle Cakes, and Brownies, too.
Rustic Pitcher by designer Pamela Gladding.

~*~*~*~*~


And for one of Ina's recipe ~ here it is. (Using the Pillivuyt oval baker, like the one in the give away.)



I've rarely been disappointed with any of Ina's recipes ~ and this one makes an appearance a few times a year at my house.


Of all the fruit crumble recipes I've tried, this is our favorite. The crumble topping is fabulous, and the ratio of fruit to topping is perfect. The big plus is that it is so easy to make, and you can substitute almost any fruit for the berries. In the summertime when berries are at their peak I use fresh ~ but the good news is, frozen fruit works too (that's what I used this time.)

Thank you for stopping by today!

  114. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the French 12 oz. Bee glasses! I've coveted them for a while now at different places...trying to rationalize another set of glasses for my growing collection of which I have no place to put them...but if I win I'll happily make room! Thanks! xo, Nan

  115. Love your blog; I am a Google Friend follower and I check here everyday! Lovley blog. I was thinking that I didn't need another cake stand but when you noted it could be used for serving cheese, etc., I thought that would be wonderful. I don't think my crystal pedestals would work for that but this one would. Thanks

  116. I would pick the Le Creuset Petite covered individual casseroles in Caribbean Blue. It's such a cheerful color!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Well,, uhm, that is a really tough choice. I'd be happy with any of them, but I think I would pick the rectangular bakers or the oval bakers. The berry crumble looks good, too. Thanks!

  126. Ooh, what a pretty blog. So much to take in. =) I found you though Mary @ 'One Perfect Bite'.
    Your dishes look fantastic!
    I LOVE The Barefoot Contessa. Isn't she great? I've made a few of her recipes. The favorite around my house was a sour cream coffee cake with walnuts and maple glaze.
    I'll definitely be stopping by again. Stay in touch.

  128. I am also a fan of Ina! Her recipes are always delicious.

    I have been following your blog for just about a year and truly enjoy all of your posts and your wonderful recipes. Selecting one item from such a list...really...okay, I cannot. The oval baking dish, the individual bakers, and the La Rochere 8 ounce stemmed glasses are on the list that I must narrow down!!

    ReplyDelete
  129. I love Ina Garten! Glad you said we could change our mind! I would choose the 8 oz stemmed glasses from France. Also, I am now a follower! Doubled my chances!

  140. I just discovered your beautiful blog through Foodie Friday. I'm so glad and like you, think Ina is a peach. I have my eye on the mini-bundt pan and want to try your pumpkin cake recipe. I've made the berry crumble recipe and it is delish. Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  141. I and absolutely in love with anything Food Network related, and Ina is no exception. Mothers Day is coming up, and I know that my grandma (who is in love with Mario Batali) would adore the orange pepper mill. My mom would also love the rustic pitcher...most of our dishes have this same look, which works so well with the overall design of the kitchen. I'm a college student and as I don't have a kitchen, wouldn't have a place for these things myself...but my family members would be ecstatic!

  155. Oops! Me again. I forgot to tell you that I'm a long time follower.

    What an awesome give away opportunity, and then you also share the fabulous berry cobbler. Wow! I'd be thrilled with any one of these items. We use the Pillivuyt baking dishes in our kitchen and they are great for both baking and serving. I've admired the la Rochere glasses with the bee motif on several blogs, so if I'm the lucky one I'd select a set of those.
    Thanks for putting my name in the hat. I always enjoy my visits to your blog.
