Junior League of Tyler Cookbook: And Roses for the Table

Additional Details

Description: From the good cooks of the nation's Rose Capital come 360 recipes as wide-ranging as the Lone Star state, from cocktails for twenty to a Sunday supper of red beans and rice, from Buttermilk Ice Cream to Christmas Turkey on the Barbecue. 

In addition to favorites perfected over generations by family cooks, the book includes professional signature dishes, such as Johnny Cace's Gumbo, Caramelized Red Onions and Bran Muffins from the Golden Door Spa, and Star Canyon's Wild Mushroom Enchiladas with Ancho Chili-Cream Sauce. It also includes a number of trusted and beloved classics, such as Tomato Aspic and Green Enchiladas, from the Junior League of Tyler, Inc.'s previous cookbook, Cooking Through Rose-Colored Glasses, in print almost twenty years. 

A special touch adorning the book is a selection of unusual and interesting recipes, such as Rose Petal Tea, that use the floral wealth of Tyler as an edible ingredient. Roses figure prominently, too, in gardening tips and historical lore scattered throughout. Many dishes have a Texas accent -- Grillades and Grits, Texas Pralines -- but one full chapter is devoted entirely to regional specialties such as East Texas Catfish, venison roasted South Texas style, and Southwestern Bouillabaisse. Also in abundance are ideas for delicious "little meals" such as main dish salads, egg and cheese dishes, and pastas, perfect for brunch entertaining or for simple meals in today's light style. 

It's a garden of culinary delights. Step inside to find roses, and many other good things, for your table. Bon Appetit!
