During the four-city tour, which will take place in Chicago, Philadelphia, Costa Mesa and Boston, Garten will discuss and elaborate on the themes in her memoir, from having a difficult childhood to meeting her husband Jeffrey, her bureaucratic job in Washington, DC to blazing her own trail and teaching millions of people how to cook and entertain. The memoir brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred book that chronicles decades of challenges, adventures, and unexpected career twists, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose.
