Ina Garten on Trusting Her Appetite and the Art of Connection
Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, is profiled in CULTURED magazine's Hamptons issue, photographed by Jeremy Liebman at her East Hampton home. She discusses her philosophy of abundance and neighborliness, her upcoming cookbook 'Simply Ina', and her new podcast 'Happy Hour with Ina' launching this fall with Vox Media. Garten reflects on her career, from buying the Barefoot Contessa store in the 1970s to hosting 'Be My Guest' with guests like Misty Copeland and David Remnick. She emphasizes self-determination and rejects goal-oriented thinking, preferring to 'go as far as you can see.' The interview takes place during Pride Month, with the Knicks up 3–1 in the playoffs, and touches on her feminism and views on tradwives. Garten's 13 cookbooks have sold millions of copies.
