The Barefoot Contessa makes cooking fun and easy

Power Player of the Week: Ina Garten

Ina Garten, best known as "Barefoot Contessa," took to social media Thursday to make an exciting announcement.

The popular television chef and best-selling cookbook author revealed on Instagram that her upcoming TV series "Cook Like a Pro" will be debuting on Food Network mid-May.

In the post, Garten and her assistant Lidey Heuck are pictured standing in front of a chocolate ganache cake with a decorative white pattern.

"Fun today filming with @lideycakes for my new TV series "Cook Like a Pro" on @foodnetwork!!" she wrote. "Airing mid-May; stay tuned!!"

As People magazine noted, Garten posted a similar cake on her Instagram four weeks ago, writing, "Chocolate Ganache Cake with chevron decoration — looks professional but with a little practice it's really easy!!"

With nearly 15 years of on-air experience and 10 cookbooks under her belt — "Cooking for Jeffrey" being her latest best-selling tome — Garten certainly seems ready for her next television project.

Garten, who formerly worked as a staff member in the White House Office of Management and Budget, got her culinary start when she purchased a specialty food store in the Hamptons in 1978.

She sold the shop a few decades later and turned her attention toward cookbooks, releasing her first in 1999. Her career blossomed as a best-selling author, and by 2002, she was hosting the original “Barefoot Contessa” program on the Food Network.

Garten, who has garnered something a cult-like following since her show's debut, is already exciting fans on social media, who have already taken to Twitter to express their excitment:
