Houston Junior League Cookbook

This is my favorite of all of the Houston League's cookbooks. One reason that I think that is is so great is that unlike the cookbooks now published, below each recipe is the name of the person who contributed it. Each recipe was tested by a group of League members so the ingredients and instructions are correct.Each recipe is one of the contributor's favorites--no one would contribute a recipe that was going to be published with their name under it if they did not love it.It is like getting a collection of recipes from a family member or good friend; no pictures or photographs of food--just great recipes to actually prepare.If you cook and do not want a coffee table book, but want a book with great recipes, this is the book for you.I have bought approximately 2 dozen of them. Two for me--I wore my first one out--and the rest for gifts.

This cookbook is one of my favorite cookbooks! Absolutely love it and use the recipes all the time!

Lots of good recipes

Love this cookbook. This is my 4th copy in 40 years. Southern, homey, simple, delicious recipes suitable for new cooks to seasoned hosts

A classic cookbook of Texas, Tex-Mex, and Gulf Coast cuisine. My grandmother and mother have this cookbook, and I love it too!

My mother has had this cookbook for years, and I am constantly copying recipes down to make on my own. I finally broke down and bought my own. Gotta love Texas cooking!

Was in perfect conditionII I actually enjoy reading comments that the former owner makes.

I own all of the other Houston Junior league Cookbooks and am thrilled with them but this one left me sorely disappointed. It may be because it was their first book but the type and quality of recipes are not up to the standard I expect of the ones they have since produced. Waste of money
