Be Ready When the Luck Happens

There truly aren’t enough words for how much I loved this book! Ina Garten is obviously someone I admire and think the world of, but I loved getting to know her as a person. To hear how she built her business and got where she was today. (I had no idea that she started her career working for the government, nor did I realize she didn’t write her first cookbook until she was in her forties!). I loved hearing about her upbringing (hard to listen to, at times), and I especially loved hearing all of the ins and outs of her and Jeffrey’s relationship. They have such an incredible bond. From meeting when she was just in high school, dating, through a separation… I gobbled it up. I loved learning about how she built her business. The long hours running the shop in the summer… expanding and then deciding to move on. Cookbooks. Television. Paris. Figuring out social media and pivoting during the pandemic. I loved it all! This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to in ages; I can’t recommend it enough.
