Oprah Winfrey smacked Ina Garten after she gave an acceptance speech about being lucky in 2010 and told her, "You make your own luck." Garten reveals the story in her memoir 'Be Ready When The Luck Happens.

In the conclusion of her new memoir, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens,” Ina Garten reveals the inspiration behind her book title. The title, she writes, can be credited to a chance meeting with Oprah Winfrey back in 2010.

When Garten went back to her seat, she was greeted by Winfrey. “And [Winfrey] smacked me on the arm in front of like 2,000 people and said, ‘You make your own luck,’” the Food Network alum said. “I said, ‘Well, I actually had been incredibly lucky.’ And then she smacked me again. And I was like, ‘Okay.’”
