This was the best news I have had all week (well, besides New York City Wine & Food Festival) – the Barefoot Contessa aka Ina Garten is coming to Philadelphia – specifically King of Prussia’s Williams-Sonoma for a book-signing of her latest cookbook - Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That?: Fabulous Recipes & Easy Tips.
According to one of my fave people at Williams-Sonoma, Ina will be at the Williams-Sonoma in the King of Prussia Mall on October 26, 2010 at noon to kick off the release of her new book. Note, while it is NOT a ticketed event, you might want to get there early to get a spot in line. Like I’ve said before, these events get packed QUICKLY. Oh, and no, I will not be wearing stilettos to this event – that’s a lot of standin’ this gal will have to do.
Here’s the full tour schedule according to her publisher.
