Even a passing good cook could excel with such splendid products. In Nanny's hands they became meals powerful in the memories of those who shared them -- metaphors almost for the Ranch itself, and now the inspiration for this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNanny's cooking was country at its core, Southern in nuance, spiked by the Tex-Mex style favored along the border, and embellished by whatever in her travels or her reading happened to catch her fancy. The result was a way of cooking, dining, and entertaining that was at once one talented woman's creation and an accurate reflection of a strong, regional American foodstyle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, then, are Martha \"Nanny\" Houghton's specialties -- Sagebrush Soup; Green Tomato Mincemeat; preserves, pickles, and relishes; Cowboy Biscuits, Spoon Bread, and White Com Bread. Here is barbecue, too -- spare ribs for one, shrimp for another -- and Tex-Mex specialties as served up at the Ranch -- Unc's Texas Red chili and Nanny's Enchilada Stack. Nanny was particularly innovative with vegetables, and her Eggplant Fritters, Onion Pie, and Squash Souffle are but a sampling; and her Venison Burgers and Grilled Mallard are just two of the special game dishes included here. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesserts were practically in a class by themselves at the Houghton Ranch, and among the favorites gathered here are Alva T.'s 7-Up Cake, Fudge Cake, Sweet Potato Pie, Peach Ice Cream, and \"Fat Farm\" Peanut Brittle. In Nanny's Texas Table, Martha Houghton's favorite recipes are presented with a first-hand account of life at the Houghton Ranch and photographs from family albums. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition.
