Houston Junior League Cookbook

I am often disappointed with a cookbook because the recipes are too exotic or fail to have ingredients that I already have on hand, but happily not this time. I bought this book for my sister, but after trying some of the recipes (before I gave it to her), I decided that I would just have to keep it and give her another one. I can't wait to try some more! If you like Texan/Southern cooking, this one definitely belongs in your kitchen. I particularly like the Tex-Mex section. The book is well laid out and easy to follow. I'm sure when my kids get kitchens of their own I'll want to give them a copy, until then ..... we'll just enjoy!
