PASTRY QUEEN PARTIES: ENTERTAINING FRIENDS AND FAMILY, TEXAS STYLE

No one captures big-hearted, big-hatted Texas hospitality like Rebecca Rather–a beloved Hill Country author, restaurateur, and hostess with a growing national reputation. In PASTRY QUEEN PARTIES, Rebecca celebrates her state’s culinary traditions, flavors, and ingredients with more than 100 savory and sweet recipes ranging from Honey-Lavender Rack of Texas Lamb to Grilled Cajun Catfish Tacos, Fig Crostada to Peach Daiquiri Likkercicles. The book is divided into six location-based party menus: a high society Houston soiree, a West Texas artist and musicians’ bash, Tex Mex dining in San Antonio, a Gulf Coast summer beach bonanza, a small-town homecoming, and a sweet and sunny Hill Country garden party. Sidebars with tips and secrets from Rebecca and other great Texas hosts and hostesses, along with more than 100 gorgeous scenic and food photos, make for an irresistible invitation to do it up big, Lone Star style.
