Stirring Prose: Cooking with Texas Authors
A traditional cookbook this is not. Each author contributed to Stirring Prose in a personal, distinctive way. Billy Porterfield reveals his fantasies about a voluptuous restaurant owner and a dream-enhanced recipe for “game hen fricassee with a French New Guinea twist.” Sunny Nash gives us an enticing snapshot of her grandmother, Bigmama, and divulges the secret to beautiful skin with Bigmama’s Mysterious Rose Water Splash. And John Erickson shares his Bachelor Cowboy’s Delight, the meal he eats over and over when his wife and children are out of town, and which consists of steak, lettuce salad, and green peas. Robert Flynn, Liz Carpenter, Elmer Kelton, and thirty-three others also share their recipes and food stories.
Published by Texas A&M University Press. 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. By Deborah Douglas.
