In the beginning of 2008 Barilla decided to repeat its experience in cookbooks’ making. The brand launched the second edition of its branded cookbook – “The Celebrity Italian Table Cookbook”.

This time Barilla’s co-authors were the famous chef Mario Batali and Hollywood celebrities, such as Chris Daughtry, Debra Messing, Natalie Portman, Marisa Tomei and Stanley Tucci. Each of them created one recipe that could be easily recreated at home.

Traditionally, throughout the February of 2008, the cookbook was available online for no charge at CelebrityItalianTable.com . For every person who downloads a copy, Barilla donated 1 dollar to the charitable fund Second Harvest (up to 100 000 dollars).
