Smith was a model before she became a chef, and was the first African-American woman to appear on the cover of Mademoiselle (1976). She has three restaurants, has acted on stage, made television appearances and hosted B. Smith with Style, and written three cookbooks, the most recent B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style.

For a small
batch: 2 oz. cream cheese, 1 3/4 C. powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp. mint flavoring,
food color as desired. Makes about 50 mints.
Notes: “For a mint flavor, buy ‘mint’ flavoring – use this
sparingly. These freeze and keep well. Molds can be purchased at stores selling
cake decorations. Buy ‘mint’ flavoring at the grocery store.”
These were made for a family member's wedding, done in the wedding colors, and are addictively delicious.
