Welcome to Love Letters, our occasional column where we gush about our deepest lady-crushes, explain why they’re awesome and, generally, serve up more corn than the state fair. Have a woman you think deserves honoring? Nominate her here!
It’s tough to imagine anyone on the Food Network who’s inspired a cult quite like Ina Garten. Otherwise known as “The Barefoot Contessa,” she’s acquired a legion of adorers. She’s been called the next Martha Stewart. She’s been referenced on “30 Rock” on more than one occasion. She’s inspired countless essays detailing her greatness — including this fantastic one from The Hairpin today, which you should check out.
But what makes her so great? What makes her speak to so many different people?
