The ultimate culinary guide with tasty recipes and beautiful photos: “Highly recommended for nut lovers and Southern cooks.” —Library Journal
America’s most popular native nut, the pecan offers a wealth of flavors and myriad culinary possibilities. This ultimate nut lover’s guide to the pecan presents more than three dozen recipes for dishes ranging from simple roasted pecans to Pecan Bread Dressing and decadent Pecan Truffles. The featured appetizers, main courses, side dishes, and desserts showcase the nut’s exceptional versatility.

These classic dessert recipes provide a sweet finish to this collection’s appealing savory dishes, such as Cheesy Pecan Wafers, Pecan-Ginger Chicken with Pecan-Rice Pilaf, and Stuffed Pork Chops with Asparagus and Pecan Butter.
Sodium-free, fiber-rich, and packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, pecans are not only delicious, but healthful as well. Infused with complete information about harvesting pecans, storing them, and processing them, this elegant and sumptuously photographed collection is sure to satisfy every palate.
