"Why do successful women always say they’re lucky, and successful men say they got there by the force of their talent?"

Ina Garten has been a comforting presence since my childhood — something my mom and I bonded over. Her calm voice, perfect roast chicken, and love for hosting made me dream of inviting friends over to cook for them in my amazing home. Years later, I don’t have an Ina-level house, but I still try my best to serve comfort food to the people I love.

Her memoir feels like a hug — soft, steady, and full of heart.✨ Yes, she came from privilege, but she worked hard to carve out a life that felt true to her. Choosing to stay child-free? Quietly revolutionary. And Jeffrey?
