Ina Garten was nominated as Culinary Host for Be My Guest with Ina Garten in 2026.
The nomination was in the Daytime Emmy category Outstanding Culinary Host. Garten represented Food Network’s Be My Guest With Ina Garten, a series in which she cooks and talks with celebrity guests in a relaxed, conversational setting. The 2026 nominee list also included Kardea Brown, Danielle Chang, Pati Jinich, and Andrew Zimmern.
Garten’s television career began with Barefoot Contessa, the Food Network program that grew out of her professional cooking and cookbook work. She launched Be My Guest in 2022, expanding from recipe instruction into interviews, travel, entertaining, and shared meals.
A common mix-up is confusing the culinary host nomination with Outstanding Culinary Instructional Series. The program itself could be nominated in the instructional-series category, while Garten was recognized separately as the on-screen host. She had also received earlier Daytime Emmy recognition, including a culinary-host win in 2009.
