Editorial Reviews
Howard Peacock, author, The Big Thicket of Texas
"Anyone who ventures into the Thicket historically, much less gastronomically, will be rewarded with a reading of this book. Take it with hot strong coffee and a fluffy biscuit, a'drip with honey."

East Texas Historical Journal
". . . this is much more than just another regional cookbook. Many photos add to the narrative. . . . From a unique black hotel in Trinity with embroidered napkins and crystal, to an antebellum health resort that featured wild game, to the ordinary Harvey House restaurants in railroad depots, Landrey touched on a Big Thicket life few persons knew existed. . . . her labor of love became a treasure with a mystique that defies description--like the Big Thicket."
