BAREFOOT CONTESSA's Ina Garten to Appear at Mesa Arts Center This Fall

Ina Garten, one of the country's most beloved culinary icons, author of nine New York Times bestselling cookbooks and host of the popular Emmy and James Beard Award-winning BAREFOOT CONTESSA BACK TO BASICS show on Food Network, is coming to Mesa Arts Center, on Tuesday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. Joined by a moderator, Ina will share stories that bring the audience behind the scenes of life in the Hamptons, filming her TV show, writing bestselling cookbooks and enjoying food with friends and family. An audience Q&A will directly follow the interview.

Tickets (starting at $41 plus applicable service charges) go on sale Sunday, June 12 at 12 Noon at Mesa Arts Center's Box office or by calling 480-644-6500.

Ina's most personal cookbook yet, Cooking for Jeffrey, is filled with the recipes Jeffrey and their friends request most often as well as charming stories from Ina and Jeffrey's many years together. From satisfying lunches to elegant dinners, Ina will discuss the recipes she has tested over and over again, so you too can serve them with confidence to the people you love. Ten million copies of Garten's books are in print, including her last nine titles, all of which are New York Times bestsellers.

Ina Garten's show Barefoot Contessa is now in its 11th season on the Food Network. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York, with her husband, Jeffrey. Learn more at www.BarefootContessa.com.
