Meanwhile, her Food Network television show too was launched and quickly became a hit. Additionally, she offers all kinds of cooking equipment, supplies and containers. Ina did not go to an institution for cooking or was she employed in a dining establishment. She is entirely self-taught. Ina is well-known as a simple cook and for her entertaining manner.
