Ina's friend Michael Grim, a florist, has been really busy at work, so Ina's decided to treat him to a portable three-course meal--a countertop picnic lunch that they can both enjoy on his lunch break. It's the ultimate Ina take-out. This is no ordinary picnic: salmon with lentils, roasted shrimp with Thousand Island dressing and, for dessert, pecan squares with plenty left over for his customers at the store.

Truman Capote wowed society with his Black and White Ball, and now Ina's wowing her friends with a Black and White Supper for the author of a new book about this renowned character and high-profile event. On the menu, Capote's favorite Chicken Hash, Pain Perdu, and White Truffles to finish off the meal.

Ina is celebrating finishing her new book with an alfresco party with a Mediterranean theme. With recipes for Lamb Kebobs, Tomato Feta Salad and a Black and White Angel Food Cake.
