Chef and cookbook author Ina Garten joins TODAY to share her new memoir titled “Be Ready When the Luck Happens” that she started writing four years ago. She describes visiting important locations in her life and how forgotten details came flooding back.
Ina Garten is opening up about the physical and emotional abuse she suffered as a child. The Food Network star, whose new memoir 'Be Ready When Luck Happens,' is out Oct. 1, told People that she was 'terrified' of her late father, Charles Rosenberg, a surgeon, who would hit her and pull her hair. 'I was physically afraid of my dad,' said Garten, 76. 'I literally remember thinking he would kill me if I did something. I was physically afraid of him.
' Garten and her mother were never close, she told People, because her mother 'really didn’t know how to have a relationship.' She credits falling in love with her future husband Jeffrey Garten as a teenager with showing her what a healthy relationship could feel like. “Everything changed when I met Jeffrey,” she said. Though her mother warned her she was too young to be a bride, Ina Garten married her husband in December 1968 when she was 20.
