Be Ready When the Luck Happens, Ina Garten

 

Be Ready When the Luck Happens:  A Memoir by Ina Garten

Recommendation: Recommended
Recommended By: My wife, I used to watch her cooking shows, The Barefoot Contessa

Review:

To a certain extent, this is lifestyles of the rich and famous.  Once you have built your second home or purchased an apartment in Paris so that you can rehab it, you have jumped into the rich.  Selling a bunch of cooking books and/or having your own cooking show probably puts you into the famous.  It wasn't always this way, but Ina's dad seemed to give her some background in real estate.  Her husband, Jefferey, was part of Lehman Brothers and then Yale.  So, young couple makes good, yes.  They had a pretty good start (taking time to wander France in their youth and both both attended very good colleges).  They had the money to invest in businesses and invested wisely most of the time.  Good for them!  A bit hard to relate, though.
