Ina Garten’s Back In The Kitchen

TV food junkies rejoice: The Barefoot Contessa says she's filming new shows

EAST HAMPTON, NY — All it took was one Instagram from Ina Garten to set her followers atwitter: the Barefoot Contessa is coming back.

East Hampton’s own Ina Garten, who rose to food fame with her beloved and still missed Newtown Lane store, Barefoot Contessa, posted an image of three bowls of limes, lemons and eggs and kitchen utensils on a counter Monday along with the caption: Organizing the kitchen to film new shows! #fun#cookingforjeffrey
