5 Lidey Heuck - Assistant To Friends

As someone as famous and successful as Ina Garten, you bet that she'd need all the help she can get. Lidey Heuck, who was Ina's assistant for years, has also taken up cooking, and if there is anyone more suited to show her the ropes of the industry, it is undoubtedly Ina Garten herself.

4 Paula Deen - Low Key Feud

While we've mentioned Ina Garten not having feuded with anyone before, there are always exceptions.

Ouch!

Ina Garten has made a name for herself by working hard and starting from the bottom, so it only makes sense that she doesn't enjoy being compared to younger chefs, such as Rachael Ray. The comparison has always been made, however, fans of Ina believe that Ray is simply a rip off version of Garten. Uh-oh!

1 Make A Wish - Not On The Best Terms

While Ina Garten seems like the sweetest person, it appears she has a bit of a mean side. The star turned down a Make A Wish request for a 6-year-old with Leukemia, not once, but twice!
