After that, several cookbooks were published, and she also contributed to magazine articles. In the meantime the Food Network show was also a success. She also sells everything from cooking equipment to tools and storage containers. Ina is a cook who has learned by herself that hasn't gone to a cooking academy or employed in a kitchen.
