Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten is a very fun, energetic read. This woman is a gem and has truly taken advantage of forks in the road. I enjoyed her television series Be My Guest, and I was hooked. She makes cooking look easy and fun. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious.
She had a rough upbringing ( very cold parents). She met Jeffrey Garten at a very young age, but she recognized a kindred spirit. She married young and the two of them forged quite a life. Their timing proved impeccable and they had the guts to say "yes" to so many choices. Buy a specialty food store in the Hamptons - the Barefoot Contessa. Gutsy choice, but it proved to be a trail blazing adventure.
She shares her life choices - no holds barred. Her humor, descriptions, and enthusiasm are inspiring.
Huge thumbs up. I want to hang out in her kitchen. Sheer joy for life, cooking, and people ooze from this book. I loved it and embrace her spirit.
