If You’re Coming to the Hamptons (Part 2)

In 1979, just after I bought my store Barefoot Contessa, I hired a chef Anna Pump who went on to own the extraordinary specialty food store in Sagaponack, NY called LOAVES & FISHES. Anna and her store were the essence of simple elegance and she taught me so much about using good ingredients to make delicious food. Anna and I remained close friends until her death but her traditions are now carried on by her daughter Sybille and her granddaughter Karina.

If you’re coming to the Hamptons, treat yourself to a slice of cake at Loaves & Fishes and you’ll understand why I admired Anna so much.
