Publisher's summary

University Press returns with a short biography of Ina Garten.

Step into the world of Ina Garten, the beloved “Barefoot Contessa,” whose warmth and culinary prowess have made her a household name. From her tumultuous childhood in Brooklyn, marked by strict parents and a hunger for genuine connection, to her serendipitous meeting with her lifelong partner, Jeffrey, Ina’s journey is one of resilience, passion, and a relentless pursuit of joy.

Travel with Ina from her early days in Washington, D.C., where she swapped nuclear energy policy for a quaint specialty foods store in Westhampton, to the bustling aisles of her iconic East Hampton shop, frequented by Hollywood's elite. Witness her transformation from a government analyst to a self-taught culinary maven, whose every dish tells a story of love, comfort, and the simple pleasures of life.

As Ina navigates the challenges of business, personal setbacks, and the ever-present expectations of others, she remains grounded in her unwavering belief in the power of food to bring people together. Discover the behind-the-scenes moments of her rise to fame—from the hesitant first steps into television under Martha Stewart’s tutelage to the creation of her long-running, Emmy-winning show, "Barefoot Contessa."

"Ina Garten: The Biography" is more than just a story of success; it’s a heartwarming tale of finding one's true calling, embracing life’s imperfections, and the enduring value of sharing a meal with those we love. Whether you’re a fan of her comforting recipes, inspired by her journey, or simply curious about the woman behind the apron, this biography will leave you feeling like you’ve just spent time with a dear friend. For anyone who believes in the joy of good food, great company, and living life to the fullest, Ina’s story is a must-read.

Love Ina Garten, but this story is very thin

The computer-generated voice is terrible, mispronouncing “Ina” and other words often. An unpleasant Audible experience.
