Ina-Garten

Ina Gardner is writer of many popular American cooking books. Ina also hosts Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, which began in 2002. Ina began working for the White House as a writer of documents on nuclear energy and the budget. In the beginning, she was enthralled by the intellectual rigors of the job, but quickly began to lose interest. In her place, she purchased Barefoot Contessa, a specialty food shop. It took her 18 years to make the shop hugely successful, and then closed it. She then began to write her first cookbook. The other cookbooks came out, as magazines too. Another success is the Food Network Television show. Her products range from kitchen equipment to ingredients as well as storage containers. Ina has never been to any cooking school, nor had a job in a restaurant. She is completely self-taught. She is a simple cook and for her entertaining style. Her most well-known dishes include Skillet Lemon Chicken roasted by Beatty's Chocolate Cake Mac & cheese Beef Bourguignon. Balsamic-roasted Brussels Sprouts, Lemon Bars as well as Mac and cheese.
