INA GARTEN COOKBOOK 

jennifer-garner-2

On Dec. 20, she posted her first Facebook cooking video, a step-by-step tutorial she titled "Pretend Cooking Show." Before jumping into making a honey white bread recipe from Ina Garten's 2006 cookbook Barefoot Contessa at Home, the actress had some sweet words for her cooking inspiration. "I'm not an expert but if you want to make your family happy over and over again this is one recipe that, if you get it down, you can do anything with it. And it's by Ina. Love you, Ina!" said Garner before kissing her stickie note-tagged copy of the cookbook.

INSTANT READ THERMOMETER

Garten's recipe calls for warm milk heated to 110 degrees F, which activates the yeast without killing it. Garner takes no chances, and checks the temperature with her Thermapen instant-read thermometer. The waterproof gadget comes in 10 colors, but we're partial to Garner's bright purple pick.

To keep the kitchen organized-and make measuring and leveling easier-Garner stores baking ingredients in large glass canisters with lids. Each jar is labeled with cute, handwritten ingredient names (in purple sharpie!) to quickly identify her bread flour, cake flour, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, and granulated sugar.

SILICONE MATS + NON-STICK BAKING SHEETS 

jennifer-garner-1

"My mom made bread men for my sisters and me when we were little and they were our favorite things ever," said Garner, who baked her dough people on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat. The silicone mat creates an evenly-heated surface, and the non-stick material helps the food lift off easily from the baking sheet.

While Garner didn't actually use this gadget during her bread tutorial, we couldn't help noticing the Zojirushi rice cooker sitting on the counter. The mini appliance has several cooking settings, to make everything from white and brown rice to steel cut oatmeal.
