Terry Thompson-Anderson has the ability<\/span> to reach deep in the heart of Texans and know just what folks want to eat . . . and cook. Her masterful cookbooks hit the spot every time. Thompson-Anderson\u2019s latest offering serves up breakfast in a big Texas way but with lots of variety. And not to worry, if it\u2019s libations you\u2019re looking for, there are plenty of lovely ways to quench your thirst as well.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>The section on party ideas and menus ranges from fun teenage sleepover food to an elegant Mother\u2019s Day brunch. Breakfast in Texas<\/span> is a superb resource for planning everything from Sunday breakfast to all your special occasions.<\/p>\n

This is one to put on your countertop and use on a regular basis, unlike some cookbooks we tuck away and pull out for one or two recipes. I can see I\u2019ll be using this book to cook many meals for my husband and me, and I can hardly wait to crack it open next time my kids are home for a visit, or for our next big brunch with my brother\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

The Cinnamon-Spiced Waffles are on<\/span><\/span>e of our favorites. Incorporating egg whites makes for a fluffy, light waffle. And I don\u2019t know a single Texan (or anyone else for that matter) who wouldn\u2019t want to devour the Spicy Candied Bacon. There are thoughtfully developed vegan recipes in the book as well.<\/p>\n

My kitchen had the aroma of a fresh bakery or a Hill Country bed-and-breakfast when I tried some of the recipes. It was the kind of enticing scent that would pull a person right out of bed and straight to the breakfast table.<\/p>\n

These recipes aren\u2019t just for breakfast, either. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.\u00a0 And who doesn\u2019t like a little breakfast for a late night supper?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>As you turn the pages of Breakfast in Texas,<\/span> you will experience the talent that photographer Sandy Wilson has for capturing the true essence of real Texas food. Each image is absolutely stunning and will have your mouth watering.<\/p>\n

As author and photographer trekked across Texas, recipes and stories were collected to add to Terry\u2019s own scrumptious creations. In fact, I feel as though I am now privy to some the state\u2019s most treasured secret recipes from places like the Driskill Hotel in Austin, and Otto\u2019s German Bistro in Fredericksburg.<\/p>\n

The German, Czech, and Mexican influences in the book represent a sampling of the rich, diverse Texas heritage Thompson-Anderson weaves into each chapter.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>Take a little time to enjoy the most important meal of the day, and savor Breakfast in Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n
