Ina Garten describes her new memoir at the Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Ina Garten, the wildly popular cookbook author and TV personality, took the stage before a sold-out crowd at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa this past weekend to talk about her newly released, bestselling memoir, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens.”
After 13 bestselling cookbooks, why write a memoir? Garten explained that she had put off writing it for a long time, but her collaborator Deborah Davis talked her into it, telling her that someone was going to write it, and it might as well be her. Starting with an idea, perhaps a remembered flavor of something she wants to tweak, she prepares the dish as many times as it takes to perfect it. The next step is crucial. She hands over the recipe to her assistant for a road test and watches as the dish is prepared. That way she sees where she needs to change or add words to make every step of the preparation flawless. Somehow, she made it sound effortless and exacting at the same time.
2. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
3. Line two muffin pans with paper liners. Fill each cup to the top with batter. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and cool completely. Frost with cream cheese icing and sprinkle with the remaining coconut.1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and almond extracts.
