Meet the Writers - Ina Garten

[Asylumescape33]

She's a good home cook...but that's it."

[Skin9111]

I adore her.

[Lilyannabell]

Sorry, have I missed something? I am English and don't get to see all of her shows so I'm not sure what all this talk of children with cancer is about and how it connects to Ina. Someone please explain.

How could you not love this woman? I'm not sure what the controversy is about, but I can't help but love her. She's smart, classy, and the girl can cook!

[raul415]

That's what she means. No personal time.

Anyway, the new book is amazing. It really does express all the things she says.

As for the Make a Wish "situation." People are so quick to judge when we have no idea what charitable acts Ms Garten and her company perform yearly.

This is another media invented, web supported story with out FACTS,

You can't imagine the every celebrity can fulfill every single request they receive. That is an absurd expectation.

We love you Ina!!!!

What does she mean when she says she doesn't have time to cook? All her life consists of is cooking.

[hodgrix]

@sailorjoy she primarily a business woman

[fabtastic2]

She is under no obligation to do anything for anyone. It is well known that she supports many charities. I wonder how many of you would drop all of your responsibilities, job etc. for a charity. Is she supposed to give up everything she has going on in her life everytime somebody wants her time or money? She can't be all things to all people. Sometimes you have to say no.

[ttiiyy]

@fabtastic2 So what exactly changed her mind in the end?

[fabtastic2]

@ttiiyy Apparently she actually wasn't aware of the request personally and once she found out about it she decided she'd like to do it. Celebrities get so many requests for so many things that they are not always personally aware of them all. They usually have managers to handle most things like that. Even if she was aware of the request, it is still her right to decide to do it or not and she shouldn't be bullied into doing something that she doesen't want to do or isn't able to do.

@fabtastic2

1.) If something like this was not brought to her attention, she seriously needs to fire someone.

2.) If she's aware of it, it would be nice on her part to visit the sick child. It's good karma and good for her image, too. But that's just my opinion.

I completely get your point. But as a celebrity cook/chef, your image is what you use to sell your show and products. So if she was aware of this and still chose not to, she's either arrogant or stupid.

[rockyracune]

I have met a lot of assholes in my life. It has been my experience that rich liberals, such as Rosie O'Donnel, Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton talk a good about helping people, but actually are selfish people in their personal life. Ina Garten also is a big liberal Democrat who used to work for Jimmy Carter - another mean asshole himself. Garten actions do not surprise me a bit.

[dollaron10]

What a dumb cunt. I hope this backlash continues. How black is your soul if you can't meet with a make-a-wish CHILD that wants to cook with you?

Don't let up with the heat on this fraud and horrible human being.

[Fajjani]

Strangle this whore.

[jaydy11]

BOYCOTT!!!!! I hope your show is cancelled for what you did to that poor little boy! Karma is a bitch and she's coming after you!

[spamica]

I bet no more 6-year-old boys will be giving you roses.

[Amenaphel]

I wish cancer was a recipe, maybe she could take time

[PatrickRomSim]

Oh my god! I've never seen anyone so full of themselves.

[CrudelyAnimated]

Selfish, arrogant sloth!

[The47thBasement]

I absolutely love Ina, I watch her show every day. She's my favorite person on Food Network. She seems super sweet!! I wish I were related to her so I could eat her food with her. I bet she's a blast to dine with.

[nw0]

[MajesticShells]

[jaydy11]

@MajesticShells HATE her! :)
