Oil & Vinegar [Hardcover]

The Junior League of Tulsa (Author), Inc. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2002

In the early 1920s, Tulsa was known as the "Oil Capital of the World," and people flocked to Tulsa by the thousands, lured by the hope of striking it rich with oil. These ambitious families brought their various traditions, legacies, and dreams, creating a culinary melting pot.

Tulsa may no longer be the "Oil Capital of the World," but in Oil & Vinegar we still celebrate its diverse culture and cuisine with stories about its history and a collection of recipes that are sure to help you strike it rich in your own kitchen.

Oil & Vinegar contains over 250 recipes, which were selected from over 2,000 submissions.

The beautiful cover art is by Otto Duecker, a nationally recognized artist who resides in Tulsa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes, beautiful cookbook, May 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Oil & Vinegar (Hardcover)

Since I have bought this cookbook, I turn to it more often than any of my other cookbooks. I've tried about 25 of the recipes and have been very happy with each one. My two favorites are the tortilla soup and Turkey Mountain salad. The tortilla soup is the best I have ever eaten, and is so easy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for your Cookbook Collection!, May 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Oil & Vinegar (Hardcover)

A wonderful array of recipes for cooks of all abilities!
The food styling and photography are beautiful as well as the cover. It could be a coffee-table book if you get it off your kitchen counter. I also enjoyed reading all the oil history and helpful hunts sprinkled among the pages.
Try the "Frangelico Fantasy Dessert", "T-Town Brisket" and "Curried Spinach and Apple Dip". Mmmmmm!

This review is from: Oil & Vinegar (Hardcover)

Nicely illustrated with full-page color photography, Oil & Vinegar is comprised of the best of more than two thousand recipes that were submitted by members of the Junior League of Tulsa, Oklahoma. From Coconut Shrimp; Strawberry Butter; and Beef Salad with Asparagus and Broccoli; to Seared Sesame-Coated Salmon Sandwich; Veal Scaloppine in Lemon Sauce; and Cold Ginger Souffle, Oil & Vinegar is a truly superb cookbook compendium that would grace any personal or community library cookbook collection.
