Anna Pump

Anna Pump (born Anna Heitweg Tutjer; April 11, 1934 – October 5, 2015)[1] was a German-born American chef, cookbook author, baker, and innkeeper best known for her bakery and gourmet takeout shop in The Hamptons, Loaves & Fishes.[2] She was the author of four cookbooks and the owner of the Bridgehampton Inn. Pump was a mentor to Ina Garten, of Food Network, who wrote the foreword to Pump's final cookbook Summer on a Plate. She was sometimes a guest on Garten's Barefoot Contessa.

Pump was born on a farm in Tarp, Germany.[1] She moved to the US with her husband, Detlef Pump, in 1960, where they lived in Frenchtown, New Jersey, before moving to the Hamptons more than a decade later.[1]

A resident of Sag Harbor, New York, Pump died in Bridgehampton on October 5, 2015, at age 81, when she was struck by a pickup truck that failed to yield at a crossing.[3]
