Customer Reviews

Great Cookbook!

This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever bought. The other one was "La Pinata" also by the Junior League of McAllen. The recipes specialize in South Texas cuisine and are very well written.

A must have

I received this as a gift when I moved into my first apartment many moons ago. I have not tried a recipe that didn't receive rave reviews. Many have become "signature" dishes in our household and for pot-luck meals. A good starting point for good South Texas cooking! I'm considering it as a gift for fellow friends and family who are ex-pat Texans.

Best in South Texas!

This is one of the best cook books that has the best recipes for the type of food served in South Texas, part American and part Mexican. A lot of people like Mexican food but no all Mexican food places prepare the true Mexican food as it should be. The book is self explanatory and simple to follow. Recipes are easy to follow and the ultimate outcome of each dish is absolutely delicious. This has been my favorite cook book since it came out. I also use the cook book published before this one by the Jr. League of McAllen League, Inc. called "La Pinata" which is hard to find nowadays. Try it you will like it.
