Garten's first stint at filming a cooking show was marred by frustrations over production constraints and constant comparison to Martha Stewart, whom she revered.
In her memoir, Garten reflects, "All day long, I would say to the director, 'No, that's the way Martha does it!' You already have Martha." This highlighted her desire for creative freedom.
Garten craved simplicity in her cooking style and disliked the scripted approach of the show, emphasizing that her methods differ from Stewart's meticulous presentation.
The friendship between Garten and Stewart, once strong, has become a complicated narrative overshadowed by their respective television careers and public personas.
