During an appearance this weekend on Andy Cohen’s messy and drama-prone Bravo talk show, “Watch What Happens Live,” Martha Stewart stoked the fires of a feud between herself and her fellow culinary mogul, Ina Garten. The pair has long presented a familiar dichotomy to the world of homemaking television, with Ms. Stewart, 83, as the blonde perfectionist and Ms. Garten, 76, as the friendly brunette. They became close friends in the 1990s, but have since had a falling out — and they have decidedly different views of what transpired. Here is what you need to know about the feud and whose side Snoop Dogg is taking. During a segment on Mr. Cohen’s show, he asked Ms. Stewart, who was on set with her frequent companion Snoop Dogg, if she had read Ms. Garten’s memoir, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens.” The memoir, which was published on Oct. 1, details Ms. Garten’s difficult childhood and her road to culinary fame.

☆ Ina Garten left a White House job to pursue a cooking career—how the ‘crazy risk’ turned her into a millionaire

In her 20s, Garten worked in the White House for Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter writing policies for the nuclear energy budget. Garten had no idea that her next chapter was waiting 300 miles away — in a tiny 400-square-foot food shop in Long Island, New York. Garten thought she might be happier working in the food business over politics, as cooking was her passion. Compared to her stifling government job, Garten thought the food business could offer a greater sense of freedom and creativity. The following weekend, Garten and her husband Jeffrey drove out to New York and bought the shop for $20,000.

Always entering just as the table is being set, Jeffrey presents as the soft-spoken, supportive husband that clearly loves his wife. When Jeffrey asked what he could do to win her back Garten said one thing: go to therapy. "I'd be the wife, responsible for everything domestic, and Jeffrey would be the 'man' who helped occasionally," she writes. "Women everywhere were rethinking their roles and responsibilities," Garten writes. The one Garten and Jeffrey took seems to be more of a "therapeutic separation," she says.

I had to use an immersion blender to make Guy Fieri's sauce. Then the recipe called for minced garlic and ginger, apple-cider vinegar, frozen raspberries, raspberry jam, and molasses. Once it was done cooking, I used an immersion blender to puree the sauce, and then a sieve to catch any raspberry seeds. This part wasn't fun because the sauce was relatively thick, so it took a while to drip through the sieve. And then my sieve broke, so couldn't get every seed out of the sauce, which ended up being fine.

The total cost of the ingredients ended up being a little bit pricey.
