Great Recipes!

This is a great cookbook!! The Turbo Charged Brownies have made me famous!! I am trying the toffee torte this weekend - can't wait!!

Yummmmmmm!

Just the recipe of the ALL SOLD OUT CHICKEN POT PIES alone is reason enough to buy this book. They are incredible!
The Texas tortilla soup is a favorite. The desserts are extra yummy too.

These recipes will make a chef out of you too!

I visited Rather Sweet Restaurant in Fredricksburg, Texas with a friend. We both had chocolate cake for desert and decided it was the best we had ever had. So I was on a quest for the recipe. I found it in this book, made it for a party and got the same results! Heaven, this lady can bake and tell you how to bake too!

An Awesome Cookbook

I absolutely love this cookbook. I have made several of her recipes and all of them have turned out great. I appreciate her sense of humor, tidbits about each recipe and ways to create variations if one should desire. I own A LOT of cookbooks and this has become my favorite. I know that I can count on the recipes to get rave reviews! Rebecca Rather truly has outdone herself.

Rather terrific cookbook!

This cookbook is terrific on all counts--great recipes (the Sugar Saucers are the end-all, be-all sugar cookie), beautiful coffee table book, and entertaining read. The fact that the book is printed on glossy paper means the pages will stand up to the occasional butter sputter and drool from looking at all of the wonderful photos. I really enjoyed reading the introduction and narratives that precede each chapter and recipe--a nice addition for those of us who can only dream about visiting Rather Sweet's Bakery & Cafe. I look forward to working my way through all the recipes!

Texas accent and all-American flavor, even pitching in to help her put a fresh coat of paint on the porch of her Main Street shop. 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.
