Recipe Swap: New recipes book proves pecans not limited to pie ingredient
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
"In Praise of Pecans: Recipes and Recollections" by June Jackson is a wonderful new addition to my cookbook collection. My sister, Barb, gave it to me for Christmas, and it is an easy read of stories and memories of the author growing up in pecan country, as well as 125 pages of recipes, all using pecans. In addition to fantastic recipes, there are tips and hints all through the book on how to use the shells and sticks from the nuts and tree. She also included a chapter detailing the wonderful nutritional value pecans have in our diets.
