Girlawhirl is always on the lookout for new recipes to incorporate into her ever growing repertoire. And if a cookbook has some stylish entertaining tips, then it's all that much better. But what really drew Girlawhirl to the second edition of The Celebrity Italian Table Cookbook by Barilla is the positive impact it will have on America's food banks...

Inspired by the favorite dishes of the likes of Natalie Portman, Debra Messing, Stanley Tucci and Marissa Tomei, Barilla has come out with its second downloadable cookbook for pasta lovers that covers everything from appetizers to ambiance.

With the help of celebrity chef Mario Batali and entertaining expert David Tutera, Girlawhirl can create an entire evening, complete with the perfect table setting for every kind of gathering -- from an intimate night with girlfriends to a sophisticated dinner party.

Based on the celebrities' suggestions, Batali and Tutera pulled together five three course meals and coordinating entertaining ideas that anyone can take on at home. But more than just delicious recipes and professional decorating tips, Girlawhirl's a fan of this online cookbook because Barilla promises to donate $1 to America's Second Harvest -- The Nation's Food Bank Network, every time it's downloaded, up to $100,000. Barilla has also donated $25,000 to America's Second Harvest on behalf of the celebrities as a thank you for their participation.

Girlawhirl's on a mission to get the word out to Super Pals everywhere, because these delicious downloadable ideas are only available through March 31^st.
