Breakfast and lunch with Marshall's 'Nine'

Written by Sharon Eberson on .

"Sunday Morning" on CBS is how I usually spend my Sunday mornings, but like most broadcast network shows, it does have those pesky commercials. So I was clicking through the channels and landed on the Food Network, as I often do, and there’s the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Carten, explaining how she’s going to make breakfast and lunch for her East Hampton, Rob Marshall and John DeLuca, because they’re busy editing their new movie, "Nine."

A cutaway to Squirrel Hill’s Marshall and his partner, DeLuca, showed star Daniel Day-Lewis as film director Guido Contini on a monitor as they worked, so I quickly set my DVR. Not only did I get a recipe for a gi-normous pot of lentl soup, but I got to glimpse the house where they’re working and see a few scenes from "Nine."

For her homemade granola bars, grilled tuna sandwiches and soup, Carten was rewarded with a sneak peek of the film. The clips went by so quickly for the TV audience, it was hard to get a sense of Day-Lewis as a singer. But the two-time Oscar winner is so talented, I have no doubt he can bring it.

The episode of the "Barefoot Contessa" first aired July 18.
