We can help go here. May 22, Credit: Getty Images. Ricky and Ralph Lauren don't just have a great house in New York 's Hamptons, they have a happy home there. It's where they spend lovely, fun-filled summer weekends and where they have cozy winter nights. They serve fancy foods, such as lobster souffle and towers of beets, arugula and goat cheese, and comfort fare like challah-bread French toast and brownies. Sure, there's help nowadays, Ricky says, but she likes to do as much of it as she can: decorating, cooking, general good hostessing. She also likes a full house, and her now-grown children, their spouses and their friends, are often Family and History. She's put together a new book, " The Hamptons : Food, Family, and Family and History opening up the inside world of one of fashion's most famous labels.
