In conversation with Deborah Davis
Location: The Eisemann Center
Author of 13 bestselling cookbooks, Ina Garten (a.k.a. the Barefoot Contessa) is a beloved Food Network personality, an Instagram sensation, and a cultural icon, with millions of followers in the U.S. and abroad. She is the host of Be My Guest and Barefoot Contessa on Food Network and Max, for which she has won five Emmy Awards and three James Beard Awards.
In fall 2024, Garten will publish her long-awaited memoir Be Ready When the Luck Happens (Crown/Penguin Random House, October 2024). For the first time, she will present an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey, sharing her personal story with readers hungry for a seat at her table.
In this intimate evening conversation (live onstage), she will discuss and elaborate on the themes in her new memoir: 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, DC, 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, Garten has blazed her own trail and, in the meantime, taught millions of people how to cook and entertain.
Ina Garten’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.
