Summary: Cooking with Carolyn
Review: My daughter, Ali May, recently gave me Texas Ties as a gift. Shortly after that I had a small dinner party and decided to try some recipes from Texas Ties, keeping in mind I shouldn't try new recipes for a party, but I did anyway. These are the recipes I tried that day: White Texas Sheet Cake (a favorite of my entire family now), Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes (my guests all took seconds on this one), Black Beans,Corn, and Tomatoes (a juicy marinated salad which is now one of my husband's favorites), and Sumptuous Raspberry and Spinach Salad (a delightful change from lettuce/tomatoes). Just this past week our family came for dinner and I made Best Banana Pudding. I did add 1 t. of vanilla to this one. My grandson, Trent, asked for the first bowl and it was all completely gone by early evening. I am a cookbook collector and Texas Ties is now one of my favorites! Happy Cooking to you!

Summary: This Virginian highly recommends this Texan cookbook
Review: 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.
