When does a cook book become a coffee table book? When it’s a cook book written by Ricky Lauren, stylish wife of fashion guru Ralph.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been a Ralph Lauren \u00a0(here <\/a>,\u00a0here<\/a>, and here<\/a>) fan since the 1980’s when I first smelled his signature fragrance, Lauren,<\/em> and saw one of his first designs, a simple denim dress. \u00a0So, I was thrilled when his wife came out with another book.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This book is definitely a triple threat loaded with family photos, family stories, and family recipes.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Ricky tells us about the different homes they have owned in the Hamptons which is the back drop for the book.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The book gives us a taste of how they spend their casual yet elegant summers by showing us photos of Hampton summertime life.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I saw a documentary last year about Ralph’s car collection which is the top collection in the world. \u00a0Of course, he would have the perfect beach mobile to use as transport for a get-away picnic.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

If they don’t feel like riding in the blue Jeep, then they can hop on a bicycle and ride to the dock to pick up some of the day’s catch from local fishermen.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

There are so many recipes and food photos that you will be able to plan your menu for weeks.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The book is a five-star production, and I am thrilled to own it.<\/h3>\n

*****<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
