Barbara's extensive travels as a fashion model and her wide circle of celebrity friends provide a source of lively anecdotes as well. The selection of recipes is eclectic, reflecting French and Italian influences on the Southern food Barbara grew up with. She offers her favortie recipes, both from the restaurants' menus and from her home, including such delicious dishes as Grilled Salmon and Wild Mushroom Salad, Chicken Cornbread Pot Pie, Profiteroles, and Sweet Potato Pecan Pie with Praline Sauce. With more than 90 photos of the party events, table settings and fininshed food, B.
