Summary

Ina Garten joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her highly anticipated new memoir, “Be Ready When The Luck Happens” which is out Oct. 1st. Ina shares what she learned about herself while writing the memoir, why she included stories about her unhappy childhood, overcoming hardships with her husband Jeffrey, and their decision not to have children. She also talks about her “leap before you look” philosophy, how Oprah Winfrey inspired the title of the book, the early Barefoot Contessa days in the Hamptons, and why she’s “the worst kind of childless cat lady.” Ina’s memoir is the subject of the Cherry Bombe Book Club on Thursday, Nov. 14th.

Hi everyone, you're listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from newsstand studios at Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City. I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine. Guess what, everybody? Today's guest is Ina Garten. I'm sure you all know the barefoot contessa and love her like the whole team at Cherrybaum does.

her highly anticipated memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens, which is out tomorrow, October 1st.

Speaking of luck, I was able to read an advance copy and I couldn't put it down. Be ready when

0:53.6

the luck happens will no doubt be a huge bestseller. By the way, Ina's book is the subject of the next Cherry Bomb Book Club. Our book clubs are virtual get-togethers we do as part of the Cherry Bomb membership. It's taking place on Zoom on Thursday, November 14th, so that gives you plenty of time to read Ina's book.

Today's show is presented by Carriegold, the iconic Irish brand famous for its beautiful cheese and butter,

made with milk from Irish grass-fed cows. If you are new to Carri-Gold, lucky you, you have a whole

and always have in my fridge. I'm trying to be intentional about my snacking. And

1:44.8

Kerrygold cheese paired with seasonal fruit is one of my favorite smart snacks. I love

1:49.7

Carigold aged cheddar and Kerrygold Reserve cheddar, two perfect cheddars as far as I'm concerned,

1:55.2

with sliced apples or Asian pears. Carigold Dubliner, which is sweet and nutty, goes well with ripe, juicy peaches,

2:02.7

and Kerrygold Cashel Blue Farmhouse cheese pairs beautifully with figs and grapes. Add a handful of

2:08.2

walnuts or some hearty crackers, and it's the perfect thing to tide you over between zooms and

emails. If you're snacking on the go, like I do on the days I record Radio Cherrybaum,
