Join us this month for an in-person book club gathering as we read Ina Garten’s book – Be Ready When the Luck Happens: A Memoir.
this month’s book club read
Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. Ina’s gift is to make everything look easy, yet all her accomplishments have resulted from hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail. In her unmistakable voice (no one tells a story like Ina), she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges, adventures (and misadventures), and unexpected career twists, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose.
From a difficult childhood to meeting the love of her life, Jeffrey, and marrying him while still in college, from a boring bureaucratic job in Washington, D.C., to answering an ad for a specialty food store in the Hamptons, from the owner of one Barefoot Contessa shop to author of bestselling cookbooks and celebrated television host, Ina has blazed her trail and, in the meantime, taught millions of people how to cook and entertain. Now, she invites them to come closer to experience her story in vivid detail and to share the important life lessons she learned along the way: do what you love because if you love it, you’ll be good at it, swing for the fences, and always Be Ready When the Luck Happens.
We will meet at my home on Thursday, March 27, at 7 p.m. I’ll be serving a few of Ina’s appetizer recipes, and I’ve got a giveaway! One lucky attendee will win an autographed copy of Ina’s cookbook, Make It Ahead.
win a copy of a signed book!

Happy reading.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
