FROM THE PUBLISHER

When the food of a culture survives, the culture itself continues. Our Texas Heritage celebrates the culture as well as the cuisine of the variety of groups that settled in Texas between the Civil War and World War ll. Each group has its own unique story that contributes to the rich heritage of us all. As a native Texan who loves to cook, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Our Texas Heritage: Ethnic Traditions and Recipes . . .I was immediately drawn to the tales from my own combined heritage of Celtic and Native American, and I'll be trying the recipes from both!
