À propos de cet audio

In her long-awaited memoir, Ina Garten—aka the Barefoot Contessa, author of thirteen bestselling cookbooks, beloved Food Network personality, Instagram sensation, and cultural icon—shares her personal story with those hungry for a seat at her table.

Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. Ina’s gift is to make everything look easy, yet all her accomplishments have been the result of hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail. In her unmistakable voice (no one tells a story like Ina), she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges, adventures (and misadventures) and unexpected career twists, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose.

From a difficult childhood to meeting the love of her life, Jeffrey, and marrying him while still in college, from a boring bureaucratic job in Washington, D.C., to answering an ad for a specialty food store in the Hamptons, from the owner of one Barefoot Contessa shop to author of bestselling cookbooks and celebrated television host, Ina has blazed her own trail and, in the meantime, taught millions of people how to cook and entertain. Now, she invites them to come closer to experience her story in vivid detail and to share the important life lessons she learned along the way: do what you love because if you love it you’ll be really good at it, swing for the fences, and always Be Ready When the Luck Happens.

Smart and funny, warm and engaging, Ina Garten proves just how lucky a person can be if she’s willing to work hard, get over her past, and be fully and fearlessly engaged with life.”—Ann Patchett, author of Tom Lake

I loved listening to her story…it is about believing in yourself, finding your person but standing tall on your own, not settling, going after what you truly want, and despite encountering a hard start with parents that didn’t know how to be parents … in the end she did not allow them to define her and it was lovely she repaired the relationship with her father.

A fun book

It’s everything you’d expect from Ina. She creates her world with her soft spoken way and with just the right amount of details. Her honesty is refreshing and I know I will be listening a second and maybe third time! Well done Ina!

Magical

Ina narrates a comprehensive autobiography, from her childhood thru university and into the world of food. She talks about her heritage, meeting the 'love of her live' in university, their marriage and her drive to owing and running a business. She tells us about day to day storefront and back kitchen stories. It is an unconventional life, foregoing children and the usual trappings of playing the ''supportive wife' to her successful husband. Ina is an independent, hard working woman. Her tag line 'how easy is that' belies the grit and determination she had that which paved the way for her success. I enjoyed this autobiography a lot. Ina's charming manner comes across in her warm, easy to listen to voice.

Ina's life candidly shared

This is the best memoir or even biography for that matter that I have ever had the privilege to read. Hearing the story in Ina’s own word and voice came off so authentic and “real” I felt like I was listening to her over coffee in her own home. Ina is an amazing storyteller and writer.
