Ina Garten

Author

In 1978, Ina Garten left her job as a budget analyst at the White House to pursue her dream: opening a specialty food store in the Hamptons. Since opening The Barefoot Contessa, she has gone on to write five phenomenally successful cookbooks, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Parties!, Barefoot Contessa Family Style, Barefoot in Paris, and Barefoot Contessa at Home.

Ina has also contributed food and entertaining articles to major national magazines, including Martha Stewart Living and O magazine, and has made numerous appearances on national television, including the Today show and The Tonight Show. Her highly rated Food Network cooking show, Barefoot Contessa, is in its fifth year, and her recently launched line of specialty food items, The Barefoot Contessa Pantry, can be found in gourmet food stores across North America. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York with her husband, Jeffrey.
