Ina Garten On Her New Memoir, Jeffrey, The Barefoot Contessa Days, And Childless Cat Ladies

Ina Garten joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her highly anticipated new memoir, Be Ready When The Luck Happens which is out Oct. 1st. Ina shares what she learned about herself while writing the memoir, why she included stories about her unhappy childhood, overcoming hardships with her husband Jeffrey, and their decision not to have children. She also talks about her “leap before you look” philosophy, how Oprah Winfrey inspired the title of the book, the early Barefoot Contessa days in the Hamptons, and why she’s “the worst kind of childless cat lady.”

Ina’s memoir is the subject of the Cherry Bombe Book Club on Thursday, Nov. 14th. If you’re a Cherry Bombe member, check your inbox to sign up for the book club now! Not an official member yet? Head to cherrybombe.com for more details.
