Be Ready When the Luck Happens

“If you are like me, you grew up watching Ina and learned that more butter is always the answer. Reading this book reminded me why it’s important to follow your gut and take risks. If you are still finding your footing professionally, I highly recommend this book.”

“A motto to live by! I never knew much about Ina other than seeing her on Grammy’s tv occasionally growing up before reading this. Book is truly a life inspiration!”

“I recommend in audiobook. A lesson that you can reinvent yourself, try something new in midlife. Dream biiiiiig”

“Ina Garten’s memoir is equally nourishing and inspiring. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I love memoirs and this is an unexpected favorite. Again recommend the audiobook because she reads it in her own voice. I loved her show but the most interesting parts of this book to me weren’t about her career. Her and Jeffrey’s relationship navigation, her relationship with her parents and the thought process she has around not having kids were interesting to learn about her.”

“I already loved Ina (and several of her recipes that I swear by). But, even if I didn't, this book would have sealed the deal. It's such a lovely read and account of her persistence, chutzpah, and, of course, love story with Jeffrey. I loved being transported to the beginnings of Barefoot Contessa, where I could picture Ina hustling and building her empire.”

“This book is a great reminder that careers are not linear. One day I want to go back and make all the recipes in the book too”
