The recipes in "Texas Jack's Famous Pralines Secret Recipe Book" range from a traditional Pecan Praline to elegant Amaretto Pecan to exotic Mexican Chili Mocha Pecan. The book also has recipes for Almond, Coconut, Agave, and even Raisin Pralines. Cookies, Fudge, and Brown Candy are covered as well.The book talks about the history of Texas Jack, which gives it a unique flavor for a recipe book. This is Texas Jack Vermillion, by the way, not to be confused with Texas Jack Omohundro, who, while famous in his own right, had little to do with pralines.The recipes are easy to follow, with well outlined ingredient measurements, and have handy advices for amateur chiefs as myself. The book is neatly formatted and has a clickable table of contents. This is my personal quirk when it comes to Kindle recipe books - clickable table of contents is a must for me. I would love to see more pictures included in the book - these pralines look positively mouth-watering.A lovingly-made, history-rich addition to my Kindle recipe book collection. Recommended.
