She caught the attention of her future husband, Jeffrey Garten when he spotted her out the library window. In 1964, Country Living reports, a teenage Ina Rosenberg took a trip to Dartmouth College to visit her brother, who was a freshman at the higher education institution. Ina Garten first met her husband when she was a teen Instead, she’s taught herself everything she knows, from how to make a chicken pot pie to the myriad ins and outs of running a small business. Surprisingly, at least to some culinary traditionalists, the self-taught chef has no formal education in the food world. Garten’s ability to learn things quickly would prove to be a vital trait in her professional life. According to Good Housekeeping, Garten has said, "all of her recipes and ingredients are measured precisely - as if they were a scientific equation."
She didn’t know it at the time, but this would play an important role in her career as a chef. She particularly loved her science classes. That braininess took her all the way to New York’s Syracuse University (via Country Living). Garten, born Ina Rosenberg, was an excellent student, reports Good Housekeeping, gaining extra marks for her careful, detail-oriented nature and high marks in science classes. That intelligence showed through for Ina even as a young child. With a resume that includes accolades such as successful business owner, chef, television host, and author, it’s a given that Ina Garten has got some serious brainpower.
So how did this self-taught chef go from a relatively unremarkable existence crunching numbers at the White House to cooking up a culinary empire and gathering a bevy of devoted fans? Let’s take a look at how Ina Garten’s decades-long transformation is turning heads. Who could? After all, Ina’s life does seem more than a little enviable, with her long and happy marriage to Jeffrey Garten, lunches with First Lady Michelle Obama, and all the vodka-laced Cosmopolitans one can handle. She’s one of the few people on Food Network who can actually cook," he said via Atlanta magazine. Even the late Anthony Bourdain, who was rather notorious for being a curmudgeon from time to time, adored her. Her television show, according to Deadline, is also a long-running favorite for Food Network fans. Her authentic, down-to-earth style has endeared her to millions of foodies and television viewers, evidenced by the success of her cookbooks, which have become New York Times bestsellers (via The New York Times). It’s difficult to find any cooking enthusiast who doesn’t love Ina Garten.
