East Texas Gourmands
This blog was created for 8 generous patrons of the Texas Shakespeare Festival that is held in Kilgore Texas and celebrating its 25th season. The patrons combined their love of theater and food by purchasing cooking lessons at a benefit for the festival. Recipes and photographs from the lessons will be placed on this blog. Sit back with a good glass of wine and have a feast with your eyes. Bon Appetite - or as we say in East Texas - Lezz Eat!
