Author Barbara Harris’s New Book, "Cooking Up Memories One Meal at a Time," Contains a Series of Recipes and Stories from the Author's Time as a Successful Restaurateur

Brownwood, TX, October 30, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Barbara Harris, founder of Celebrity Café and Bakery in Highland Park Village in Dallas, Texas, has completed her new book, “Cooking up Memories One Meal at a Time”: a collection of heartwarming stories and legendary recipes that made the author’s establishments so incredibly popular.

Since she was a young girl, author Barbara Harris has been fascinated with cooking and baking, and learned her craft with creativity, passion, trial and error, and lots of practice. While passing time as a bookkeeper for twenty-five years, Barbara honed her skills by cooking for family, friends, and church until finally quitting her job in 1979 to open her first restaurant.

With the help of her late husband Bill and their large family, the Harrises grew their operation to multiple locations and brands and eventually expanded into Dallas in 1989 with Celebrity Café and Bakery. Now retired, the author lives in her hometown of San Antonio, but her favorite hobby is still cooking.

“There is something in all of us that believes a lovely meal around the dinner table is welcoming, inviting and has the power to unite us,” writes Harris. “Family time is such an important part of daily life. Gathering around the table with a good meal, sharing the events and experiences of the day, produces lively conversation with family and friends. What a blessing for all, and the ‘memories will last a lifetime.’

“I love to go through a cookbook and select a complete meal from the recipes in the book. What a fun way to pass the day! So read through the chapters of my story and enjoy making the recipes that follow.”
