Publishers Text

From the introduction, which wistfully recalls the author's childhood spent picking out pecans for her mother's candymaking, to the candid discussion of the health aspects of pecans, this collection evokes nostalgia and a desire to cook with pecans in order to improve health. The compendium of more than 100 sumptuous recipes includes the use of pecans in all categories of cooking, from Key Lime Pecan-Laced Pies and Butternut Squash Pecan Risotto to Toasted Pecan Polenta-Cheese Slices. Recipes that have been handed down through generations in pecan country become even more treasured when paired with the stories of their origins in this guide, which offers numerous anecdotes that enhance the backgrounds of these delicious treats.
