Summary of In Praise of Pecans: Recipes & Recollections

As a snack food, pecans rate very high in nutrition, flavor and convenience. They are at their most nutritious in the raw state, simply eaten out of hand. Few other "take-alongs" measure up to the food value of pecans.

Whether enjoying them while walking under a nut-laden tree in the fall, waiting for a cluster to fall to the ground, or dining royally on pecan-encrusted mountain trout in an elegant restaurant, the discriminating consumer understands how good this product of nature is, in all its incarnations.

Useful in halves, pieces, or ground, pecans have enhanced our lives for centuries. However, in today's kitchens and laboratories, they are finally being recognized for their nutritional value.

June Jackson's In Praise of Pecans will help the reader make the most of this versatile and delicious food.
