Ina, 75, who grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, with her surgeon father Charles and her dietician mother Florence, has long talked about how her 'obsessive' mom kept her eating as a child and didn't let her cook, despite her falling in love with the sport from a young age. When speaking with Katty Kay in a recent BBC interview, she has shared how the bad experiences she suffered as a child eventually led to her not wanting to become a parent herself. Ina's response when asked by the host whether the decision resulted from her feeling that she wouldn't be a cook if she had a family, she explained that balancing both would be "more difficult," but that wasn't the reason. The'motivating factor,' she said, was her fear of'recreating' what she suffered as a child.'
