Praise |
"Ina Garten has created an inviting and relaxing world that's the equivalent of one of her cocktail recipes. To use a Barefoot Contessa catchphrase, How great is that?"-The New York Times (Editors' Choice) "A freewheeling handbook for life . . . Be Ready When the Luck Happens is a romp, filled with adventure and serendipity, a magic act that makes the hard stuff of life seem like both education and play."-The Washington Post "Simplicity is at the core of [Ina Garten's] appeal . . . her approachability, charisma and close connection to the sensibilities of the home cook have given her a devoted following."-The Wall Street Journal "Though a good deal of luck often came through for her along the way, Garten's lively memoir emphasizes how hard work and unrelenting tenacity were what made the magic happen. An entertaining foray into this well-loved cooking host's illustrious life."-Kirkus Reviews "Garten emphasizes the importance of doing what you love. Her story is a testament to the power of following one's passion and the impact of hard work and dedication. . . . Whether you're a longtime fan of the Barefoot Contessa or new to Garten's work, this memoir is sure to leave you feeling inspired and ready to tackle your own dreams."-Medium "Be Ready When the Luck Happens is a wildly entertaining and compulsively readable story about curiosity and courage, challenges and coconut cupcakes. It's also a love story for the ages. Smart and funny, warm and engaging, Ina Garten proves just how lucky a person can be if she's willing to work hard, get over her past, and be fully and fearlessly engaged with life."-Ann Patchett, author of Tom Lake |
