Ihave not yet obtained the newest publication, Barefoot
Contessa at Home, but hope to have it soon. I do have all of her previous books and love them all and constantly refer to them for new ideas and refresh my recall of the old "stand-bys". I make every opportunity to enjoy her TV program when i am available to do so, not only for her wonderful recipes and ideas, but I just simply enjoy watching and listening to her with her warm personality and friendly ways, especially when talking to her many friends and when she shops, and so importantly, when she reflects on how much she loves preparing and enjoying her time with Jeffrey. When I first found the "Barefoot Contessa" I read of her beginning in one of her publications which related of her very stately and governmental position and her bold adventurous decision to switch to her "Barefoot Contessa boutique bakery/specialty store. One would have to admire someone who could reach out and make such a radical change,--I was in awe as i read the small biography of her life and I knew I liked her spirit from the onset.
As i watch and listen to her, I have such a heartfelt feeling of how special it would be just to be able to meet and talk with her and have the privilege of making her acquaintance and, even more imporantly, to count her as a friend.
My special thanks to her for all my moments spent with her; albeit afar, from New Hampton to my home in Tustin, California and even more, especially for the introduction and the instilled inspiration to try new and delicious recipes --I look forward to each and every time of being in her audience of many.
Forever a devoted fan,
Marion Stevens
