She hired cooks and employees to cook the food as well as help customers make their choices on specific food items. This then became the name of her Emmy Award winning Food Network program; Barefoot Contessa, which still currently airs on Food Network today. Prior to the debut of her own show, Ina gained TV experience and a host of fans as a frequent guest on Martha Stewart’s show also hosted by Food Network.

Ina’s cooking style follows a strict recipe of fresh ingredients and she is also very clever when it comes to shaving time off of meal preparations and cooking. Chef Ina also released a series of baking mixes, spices, sauces, and other flavor adding ingredients debuting in stores in 2006 entitled Barefoot Contessa Pantry.
