Anna Pump (April 11, 1934 – October 5, 2015) 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.[1] 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 forward to Pump's final cookbook Summer on a Plate. She was sometimes a guest on Garten's Barefoot Contessa.
She moved to the US with her husband in 1960, where they lived in Frenchtown, New Jersey, before moving to the Hamptons more than a decade later.[2]
A resident of Sag Harbor, New York, Pump was killed while crossing to the north side of Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton, near the post office, when she was struck by a pickup truck heading west on the evening of October 5, 2015. She was taken to Southampton Hospital by ambulance, where she succumbed to her injuries. She was 81.[3]
