Ina Garten
In 1978, Ina Garten left her job as a budget analyst
at the White House to pursue her dream: operating
a specialty food store in the Hamptons. Since opening
The Barefoot Contessa, Garten has gone on to
star in a Food Network show of the same name
and written the phenomenally successful Barefoot
Contessa cookbook series (some available at
costco.com). She lives in East Hampton, New York,
with her husband, Jeffrey.
