Barefoot Contessa

November 5, 2015 in Segerstrom Hall; tickets go on sale May 8 COSTA MESA, CA

Ina Garten, the Emmy Award-winning host of the Barefoot Contessa television show on Food Network and The New York Times best-selling author, comes to Segerstrom Center for the Arts on November 5, 2015 in Segerstrom Hall. Garten will bring her natural approach to food; entertaining tips, stories and maybe even some recipes. She will be joined on stage by moderator Tori Ritchie. Garten will deliver a charming insider’s view of the hit TV show, now in its 11th season, and the pleasures of good food, cooked with love and passion, engaging the audience with an interactive Q&A. Tickets for Ina Garten: Barefoot Contessa start at $49 and will go on sale Friday, May 8 at 10 a.m. PT.

Single tickets will be available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746.

MAKE ITAHEAD: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook delivers Ina’s top make-ahead recipes and invaluable tips, making meal-planning easier than ever — whether for the week ahead or for a special meal. Eight million copies of Garten’s books have been in print, including her last seven titles that have been The New York Times bestsellers.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts applauds Kia, Official Automotive Partner of the Center and United Airlines, Official Airline of the Center. Garten opened a modest store in the Hamptons called Barefoot Contessa, in 1978. Eighteen years later, the store had grown to 3,000 sq. ft., which she sold to start working on her cookbooks. In 2002, Food Network approached Garten to do a cooking show based on her cookbooks and love of entertaining. Garten’s new line of prepared frozen meals, Sauté Dinners for Two, launched in spring of 2013 and is available in 40 national supermarket chains. In addition, Garten has contributed to House Beautiful, Martha Stewart Living and O, Oprah’s magazine.
