![]() ![]() ![]() I remember being in my little house listening to music and drinking a glass of gorgeous red wine. We were mid-season and had just finished a long week, and I somehow made this gorgeous meal on a Saturday night. I made dinner for Victor Garber-who played my dad on the show-and his partner, Rainer. (Called by its traditional French name boeuf bourguignon in the book.) The first time I made it was ages ago-we were shooting Alias in the early 2000s, and my co-star Michael Vartan had hunted down a signed copy of Barefoot in Paris for me. My favorite Ina recipe is Ina’s beef bourguignon. How could I possibly choose a favorite? Do you mean to ask me my favorite from each book? My favorite chicken, my favorite shrimp, my favorite muffin? Torture. What is my favorite Ina Garten recipe? This is an unfair question, I may have to quit here. ![]()

![]() ![]() That somehow seems not to matter, it's a gorgeous production and well worth watching. It is very long, they certainly put as much of the book in it as possible, it's very faithful, possibly guilty of being a little slow in parts. Trudie Styler is a brilliant Josie Turner, she helps to make the ending quite brilliant, all in a look. David Horovitch played Slack so well, I can see why he was made a recurring character, I'm sure he was overused but I get why. Other performances I liked, firstly Gwen Watford, she is delightful as the ditsy Dolly Bantry, so excited that a body has been found, she clearly loved a bit of drama, I'm so glad she returned in the final episode too. She is truly wonderful, even after her introduction you just know that she is Miss Marple. Straight away Joan Hickson shows us why she is the definitive Miss Marple, endorsed by Agatha Christie herself, she'd play the role from 1984 - 1992 and make it her own. This version mirrors the book in so many ways, it's a truly faithful adaptation, as the saying goes 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.' I understand that a few elements are missed, but it would have been impractical to attempt to squeeze it all in. Somehow she seems unreal, Dolly Bantry seeks the help of her friend Jane Marple, and the pair seek to unravel the mystery, enquiries lead them to the seaside. About the Show With a gentle smile and a probing mind, Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple often finds herself at the center of trouble a witness to betrayals, poisonings and all manner of mayhem. ![]() ![]() The sleepy peaceful home of the Bantry's is woken to the shattering news that the body of a young platinum blond woman has been found in the Library. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maggie Zurawski is an award-winning poet, author of the novel, The Bruise, and associate professor of English and creative writing at the University of Georgia where she directs the creative writing program.
