Showcasing recipes for more than 80 outstanding dishes

Compiled, organized and presented by Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret, Stewing In Texas: Recipes Sizzling In Texas History, A Cookbook War, And More is not just another regional recipe collection. Rather, along with showcasing recipes for more than 80 outstanding dishes ranging from Perfect Guacamole, King Ranch Chicken, and Texas Shrimp gumbo, to Texas Caviar, Classic Margarita, and Pioneer Jailhouse Chili, Stewing In Texas also present the story of how Penfield Press was sued by Cookbook Resources LLC and Judy Barbour (author of "Cowboy Chow") in 2001 for copyright violation. At issue were hundreds of thousands of dollar if the court judgment were to go against Bourret and Penfield Books. Fortunately their was Carol Blakely, a native Texan cook and culinary historian from Dallas whose outrage concerning the lawsuit led her to research hundreds of cookbooks which proved to be of substantial benefit to not only Penfield Books, but any church, school, or civic organization that publishes and sells compilation cookbooks. "Stewing In Texas" is both a great read and a great collection of palate pleasing, appetite satisfying, kitchen cook friendly recipes for any and all dining occasions!
