Chefography: Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa)

i love Ina Garten. i just saw her show last night on the Food Network. she has motherly charisma and you would assume that she really talks to you in person in her show, Barefoot Contessa. aside from her very delectable and useful cooking tips, she can also show you around her neighborhood, tour around her cozy house and introduce her friends. a very warm Ina Garten makes you feel at home. sometimes she only picks up herbs, fruits and vegetables right from her own garden, thus getting the name "Barefoot Contessa."

a very generous woman, she doesn't want to get anybody hungry. everyone has his own serving of Ina's specialty from appetizers to desserts.

aside from hosting a TV show of the same title and owning a business of pastry lines and cookbooks, she also writes columns for Martha Stewart Living and O, the Oprah Magazine.
