Description
Book SynopsisAttributing her own love of this American nut to the state of her birth - Georgia is the US leader in growing pecans - and to the happy fact that her mother hardly made a cookie, candy, or pan of Sunday dressing without them', Kathleen Purvis teaches readers how to find, store, cook, and completely enjoy this southern delicacy.
