I used to watch her show with my mother every evening back when I was a kid. Seeing where she is now, I'm very happy to see her achievements! Love you, Ina ❤️

[@andilamont]

Hearing Ina cuss! Omg i love her even more!😂❤

[@jennyrieras431]

This is the comment I was looking for! I was like oh sh*t Ina curses! Another thing to add to my love of her

[@tiadavenport5465]

She's real.

[@darridmorris6651]

Met her in Chicago years ago, she is a sweetheart, genuine and she remembered me from a phone call!

[@Deborah-rz6gq]

Very few stars are genuine and soooo smart. Most important she is so happily married. Cooking love what ever more could anyone want?

[@reereelove2593]

Love this woman so much

[@benderdp]

She is the best. Her orange marmalade recipe was a game changer for me. Now, I never buy it at the store. I make my own! Ditto with vanilla extract. Followed her instruction, even bought the same Le Parfait jar to use. And her roasted chicken is a regular on my menu.

[@sgayles11]

I always found Ina’s cooking shows educational and relaxing. On Barefoot Contessa she was cooking with vegetables & herbs from her garden and her garden was beautiful. It was cool to get a glimpse of her relationship with Jeffrey too. 😘❤️❤️❤️

[@Clintsessentials]

So soothing 4 sure.

[@mfredcourtney5876]

Can you imagine being her friend! What a hoot! She's great. Her style is so appealing.

[@SuperC888]

I never get tired of listening to her trajectory from White House to the Food Network… no matter how many times I hear it.

[@farzanadarsot3516]

Ina, beautiful inside and out... 💞

[@2legit64]

What a great interview and the interviewer was really fantastic. She asked really good questions and let Ina answer them thoroughly.

[@briol44]

I thought the opposite. Not personal and she seemed to rush the questions. To each their own, I guess🤔

[@peacenow4456]

Excellent interviewer!! Love Ina and Jeffrey! I have many of her cookbooks and love her roast beef!

[@LAgifts1]

The interviewer was not really listening. Ina was just herself, humble and open, so interesting to listen to her.

[@Deborah-rz6gq]

She is my favorite chef..Great strategy in her book idea 💡. Every book I bought I could actually make her recipes as she pointed out. She is humble. I love that Jeffrey supports her 100 per cent... She gives the novice cook a chance to be a great chef!!! I owned a business and was very successful because I worked 17 hour days . Jump into your own business with both feet . If you fail so what? I want to be the red stiletto amongst the black patent leather . Be bold Ina inspires

[@2075vj]

She’s one of my favorite people. I do feel like I know here. I’ve been watching her for many years and I’ve learned so much. Thanks for sharing

[@susansawatzky3816]

Oh my goodness…I love her

[@eattherich9215]

Ina is a television natural. I love watching her.

[@anaeluere5054]

Ina beautiful interview!! ❤️💫💫💐 l love her book, it has delicious recipes!

[@SuperC888]

Which one do you recommend? She’s written 13

[@haarveey1]

This is a great interview, I’ve found it very inspirational ❤️

[@sunlvr330]

Wow, thank you Ina for being so generous with things you have learned and advice you have received. Thanks for sharing your journey

[@yorocco1]

Ina is awesome!

[@seven471]

Who doesn't love Ina? She's so relatable and kind.

[@deborahr.7696]

Awesome interview! I love her cookbooks for the photography. Don't ever change that. 🧡

[@dianewillson7099]

A real person She is just wonderful

[@vickidash-slesinski746]

I love your cook books, recipes, and shows. I love your concept of pictures and small number of recipes in the book.

[@Kat-ck3iu]

Love ❤️ her. Keep doing what you are doing. Luv watching your cooking 🍳 shows too.

[@PrincessDiana1256]

Love Ina Garten! One smart lady! A variety of work experiences. She listened to her heart. I love that she followed her soul's work, buying The Barefoot Contessa...love her drive for a life well lived. Love that her love story with Jeffrey had lasted so many years. A true inspiration...❤

[@jayneharding6650]

Fabulous cook 🇬🇧xxx

[@jille]

Love love love this

[@flowergirl7260]

Such an enjoyable interview. Thanks!

[@annmariemarzak4904]

Enjoyed Ina's advice! Love what you do!

[@jamietingey7498]

Im inspired by this woman!

[@deborahgodley6980]

I love Ina.I believe her appeal is her ease with the "good life" as opposed to the more formal and rather "chilly" Martha Stewart.She is very well educated and sophisticated but she has a warm laugh and an ease with people (;though I know she has exacting standards and likely does not suffer fools gladly).Also,I dream of her life! I want the house in Easthampton.I want her garden.I want her apt in Paris.I want a husband like Jeffrey. I want her friends.She is inspiring as well.

[@johnschultz6286]

Ina love you more

[@flavs9548]

As the interviewer said, "there is no shortage of recipes out there". What sets Ina apart is the way she presents herself, and talks during her show. She brings calmness and just makes you wanna get cooking. She makes it look like anyone can cook in the comfort of their home.

[@gingerbreadfortuna]

Fabulous interviewee.

[@deesticco1719]

Ina’s story is inspiring and unpretentious! Thank you Ina for that affirmation of accepting if at a point in career, is un-stimulating and how you navigated! Most people go on putting up with it! Coincidentally I am in that period and doing the same but my brain is cooking! 😊

[@rosairisjimenez9672]

EXCELLENT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Yup, my best career years were 40 to 50.

[@ninat9262ify]

💗

[@emilyodwyer8265]

This interviewer asked great questions but don’t do an interview like this if you have to continually look at your notes when someone is talking to you - it’s not a you’d look and it’s not fair for the person you’re interviewing

[@susangardener6761]

Agreed! She spent too much time looking at the audience! And it was obvious that she was prepping the next question before Ina answered the current question!

[@SuperC888]

23:12 Moira just invited herself to dinner at Ina’s!

[@AyyItsMeee]

I find this host kind of testing, really pointing out her low points.. idk just me

[@markcombrinck-hertz3649]

hi mark

[@fazlejalil46]

Her name is why garten of banban was created

[@LadyLJOII]

The host says, there was no shortage of cookbooks out there. Yeah, but they weren't written by INA. Drop the mike. Oh, dear. Yeah and take a hint from Ina sitting lady like in the chair. One does NOT cross one's legs over the knee in high heels while wearing a short tshirt dress. Trust me.

[@flophilp]

Her dress was also a poor choice for the occasion. A skirt that short on a stage that tall is a recipe for disaster 😬

[@tiadavenport5465]

Did she just dig on another food network star?

[@EddieGoing]

Bad interviewer.

[@TheNancypoo]

We wnt from a real, accomplished WOMAN to a man masquerading as a "girl". We've come a long way, baby. NOT...
