Ina lives in East Hampton, N.Y., and Southport, Conn., with her husband Jeffrey, who is a professor at the Yale School of Management. Ina has been a columnist for Martha Stewart Living magazine, O, the Oprah magazine and House Beautiful magazine. In 2006, Ina and her business partner Frank Newbold started a successful line of Barefoot Contessa Pantry products, comprised of baking mixes and sauces developed from recipes in her cookbooks. Her follow-up cookbooks, Barefoot Contessa Family Style (2002), Barefoot in Paris (2004), Barefoot Contessa at Home (2006), Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics (2008), Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That? (2010) Barefoot Contessa Foolproof (2012), Make It Ahead (2014) and Cooking for Jeffrey (2016) all continue her style of cooking with easy, delicious, and foolproof recipes that you can make at home. In 2001, Ina followed with best-selling Barefoot Contessa Parties! in which she invites readers into her home and shares her ideas and recipes for having parties that are fun for all - including the host.
The book invites readers into her specialty food store and shares the recipes that made it such a success. In 1999, Ina wrote her first book, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, which was one of the best-selling cookbooks of the year. In 2003, the new owners of Barefoot Contessa decided to close their doors and go on to new adventures.
In 1996, Ina sold the store to her employees. Twenty-five more employees worked in the store helping thousands of customers to choose breads, salads, dinners and baked goods to take home. Twenty years later, Barefoot Contessa grew to a 3,000-square-foot food emporium where twenty cooks and bakers prepared the food. Two months later she found herself the owner of Barefoot Contessa, a 400-sq. She and her husband drove up to investigate and made the owner an offer on the spot. In 1978, Ina Garten found herself working in the White House on nuclear energy policy and thinking, "There's got to be more to life than this!" She saw an ad for a small food store for sale in a place she'd never been: the Hamptons at the end of Long Island.
