Texas on the Plate by Terry Thompson-Anderson ($34.95, Shearer Publishing) marks the first cookbook from Shearer in many years. As you would expect, it’s stunningly designed and photographed, right down to the flyleaf. Terry Thompson-Anderson’s 150-plus recipes are upscale versions of the Lone Star state’s tried-and-true (e.g. venison and mango enchiladas, mesquite-smoked oysters), all very elegant. On the other hand, how many cookbooks offer a recipe for squirrel? Like all of the recipes, Alton and Virginia Anderson’s Braised Squirrel and Dumplings is even paired with suggested wines. |
