Ina Garten is an American author and host of the Food Network program Barefoot Contessa, and a former staff member of the White House Office of Management and Budget.Garten had no formal training; she taught herself culinary techniques with the aid of French and New England cookbooks. Later, she relied on intuition and feedback from friends and customers to refine her recipes. She was mentored primarily by Eli Zabar, owner of Eli''s Manhattan and Eli''s Breads, and food-show host and author Martha Stewart. Among her dishes are coeur à la crème, celery root remoulade, pear clafouti, and a simplified version of beef bourguignon. Her culinary career began with her gourmet food store, Barefoot Contessa; Garten then expanded her activities to several best-selling cookbooks, magazine columns, self-branded convenience products, and a popular Food Network television show.

The introductory essay, An Eye without an I is a discussion of how I have come to understand the placement of narrative voice within the intention of the poem, and how with the conversational aspect of poetry engaged--of the writer and reader being essential to the in and out breath of a poem--the poem awakens to stretch beyond the language of the everyday, to reach something deeper.
