"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?

I had no idea of Ina’s life and her trajectory of becoming the Barefoot Contessa we all know her as.
Gave me a new appreciation for her and her cookbooks … and I think I’ll be looking to rewatch her show now.
A wonderful look into how her and Jeffery’s love story truly helped her to become who we all know Ina to be in our minds.
Although .. luck does happen, but so does privilege. She did have a hard life in some aspects, but she also had a good amount of privilege.
