5.0 out of 5 stars This Virginian highly recommends this Texan cookbook, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Texas Ties: Recipes and Remembrances (Hardcover)

My mother-in-law gave me this book, and I have loved everything I've made from it. I made the white gazpacho for a wedding shower, the white chocolate/blackberry cookies and the "drunken brie" for a baby shower, and the jalapeno potatoes au gratin for a potluck. Most of the recipes have only a few, not-too-exotic ingredients. The cooking instructions are easy to follow. I highly recommend this book, even for the beginning cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Texas recipes with beautiful pictures., July 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Texas Ties: Recipes and Remembrances (Hardcover)

This cookbook is our absolute favorite. The recipes are easy to follow and the stories make it an especially warm family remembrances cookbook. Every recipe we have tried has been delicious! This book is the perfect gift for any Texas themed gift, and accentuates any gift basket because it is so pretty with its watercolor pictures and tinted photographs. I would highly recommend this cookbook out of all of the Junior League cookbooks I have tried. The desserts are my personal favorites, especially the chocolate applesauce cake, and white Texas sheet cake. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Texas Ties is a great read and a must have for cookbook collectors. The family stories are all very warm and include some cooking tips I haven't seen anywhere else. The Comfort Foods section is unique. The recipes include all fresh ingredients - upscale recipes for the ordinary cook. Every recipe has turned out great.
