The Peach Tree Family Cookbook
Cynthia Collins Pedregon was born and raised in a small ranch in the Texas Hill Country town of Medina.  The mother of three children, she and her husband, Hector, have owned and operated The Peach Tree Gift Gallery and Tea Room in historic Fredericksburg, Texas, since 1972.  In addition to her passion for cooking, Cynthia currently conducts cooking classes at her restaurant and is in demand at other cooking schools.  She has written two other cookbooks, The Peach Tree Tea Room Cookbook (now in its 6th printing), and her latest, With Love, from Cynthia (printed Dec. 1999).  Her loyal following, and the strong reception she has received from all three cookbooks, reflects the intensely personal relationship she has developed with her readers.  Cynthia's recipes have own acclaim from Gourmet Magazine, American Country Cooking Cookbook, Dallas Morning News, and San Antonio Express-News.  She is available for personal interviews as well as in-store book signings.
