East Texas Historical Press strives to bring its readers the early history of East Texas.  However, because East Texas was made up of so many varied races from the old southern states and other countries, the cookbooks shown below will represent these.

Cookbooks:

David Wade was often referred to as "the Rembrandt of the kitchen."  He invented television cook shows and made fine cooking popular through his world-wide demonstrations and he recognized fine restaurants by honoring them with lighted signs that told customers this is a special place.  And he did so much more, not only for gourmet dining, but for the Boy Scouts and his church.  He believed in quality in everything he did.  This book, THE DAVID WADE COLLECTION, is a must for your library.  Very good condition, 1986, hard-bound.  $22.50.
