Rather takes the best of the Lone Star State—pecans, peaches, pralines, chiles, dulce de leche, German sausage—and turns out treats that taste like home, only better than anything homemade ever tasted before. There are the Bacon-Cheddar Scones, the Texas High Hairs Tarts (the only big hair Rather has ever had!), Fourth-of-July’s Fried Pies, Turbo-Charged Brownies with Praline Topping, pillowy Kolaches (yeasted buns with savory fillings), dulce de leche, German sausage—and turns out treats that taste like home, only better than anything homemade ever tasted before. Self-taught, Rather’s 150 utterly original recipes reflect her made-with-love-from-scratch philosophy and are guaranteed to get everyone fixin’ to bake. | | | Features: | |

I'm lucky enough to have been to her restaurant!Jun 13, 2010
I am lucky enough to have been to Rather Sweet in Fredericksburg. I even made my husband take a two-hour detour on a two week road trip to eat lunch there. The idea of her tortilla soup alone helped keep my morning sickness at bay while on the road! I was so thrilled to find this cookbook. Though my baby is almost eighteen months now, I still crave the soup, sandwiches and muffins from her shop. Every recipe I have tried so far has been fantastic, especially the lemon muffins. Highly recommended!
looking forward to more recipesJan 01, 2010
I bought this book before the holidays and finally got a chance to try it. The Texas tortilla soup was a little involved, but the best tortilla soup I have ever had. I am looking forward to my next chance to try a recipe.
my first cakeNov 16, 2009
I made the Tuxedo Cake in this book for my friend's birthday, and it turned out to be one of the best cakes I have ever had. I am no baker (it was actually my first time baking a cake), but I can't wait to try out other recipes in this book! The recipes include a variety of desserts, snacks, light meals, and drinks that are suitable for various occasions. I wish there is a picture for every recipe, but I am very happy with it.
I also made the pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving dinner, and again, nice turnout, lots of compliments. My pumpkin roll was gone before the pumpkin pie and the apple pie from other guests!!
Looks amazingOct 05, 2009
I am married to a Texan and when I looked through this book i was so excited to see some of my husbands favorite treats. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and haven't been able to try any of the recipes but as soon as I'm back I will try every recipe in this book.
