Ina, I love your shows and I’m so glad to see some new ones! I’ve watched all the reruns a dozen times. I love your new barn.
After watching “Barefoot” for years, it finally accord to me that you are really in front of a camera and not just speaking to me. What a wonderful teacher you are.Thanks!!
I am so very glad you are back with a new show. I so love seeing your husband and friends have reoccuring visits on your shows. Its nice that you share a part of your private life with your fans. I hope you have continued sucess and are forever on The Food Network.
Ina, you are my favorite, and my business coach says I remind her of you! Wow! I love the new barn, the kitchen in your home, how you treat Jeffrey and how he loves all the dishes that you make for him, plus the way you explain things to us-so simply. I have copied down all of your design styles from your cookbooks and have implemented a lot of them-books in the dining room, etc.-I have ordered some of the CDs you recommend, etc. Sorry I missed you on your book tour when you came to Williams -Sonoma in San Francisco! I watch you every SINGLE day!
All the love in the world: Sandy Guderyon
