In 1978, Ina Garten left her job as a budget analyst in the White House to pursue her dream- operating a specialty food store in the Hamptons. Twenty years later, Barefoot Contessa is celebrated for its stylish charm as well as its delicious food. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York, and Southport, Connecticut, with her husband, Jeffrey.
"I enjoy Barefoot Contessa both for its presentation, which is just
about the best I've ever seen, and also because the food tastes
like home cooking--because it is. I'm drawn in as much by its
personality as I am by what they have to offer."--Steven Spielberg,
director, DreamWorks SKG
"Like Ina Garten herself, this stunning, lively new book is about
style, simplicity, comfort, and good times among family and
friends. Her natural approach to food is frank and forward, and you
are sure to treasure each tip, each story, each recipe."--Patricia
Wells, author of At Home with Patricia Wells: Cooking in
Provence
"No store more fully embodies the easy, stylish elegance of the
Hamptons than Barefoot Contessa. And no one understands what
successful entertaining is all about better than Ina Garten. Born
of retailing, her wonderful accessible recipes have been tested on
you and me for a very long time and they really work. Bravo!"--Eli
Zabar, owner of E.A.T., The Vinegar Factory, Eli's Bread, Across
the Street, and Eli's Manhattan
