The first in Lisa Wingate's Texas trilogy, her books are fast paced, clean and leave you feeling so good, you want to move to Texas and meet these people. Great in-depth characters and background; you feel like you are visiting the small town and experiencing everything the heroine is. Being a former city-slicker, I could relate to her adaption to a small town problems and people. The romance is just that - romance, not graphic sex. If you're looking for a fast feel-good, funny and romantic read, try this trilogy!

I live in Ft. Worth, and so I especially enjoyed that it is set in Texas. It is hilarious and spot on in the descriptions of small town Texas. I loved it!!!

Good book, makes you wonder about fate and think about family and their importance in our lives.
I thought the author could have done a better job with the romance. It was average.

Texas Cooking is the first of a two-book series âTexas Hill Countryâ and the third novel the author has published. Typical of Lisa Wingate's novels, anecdotes shared by residents of San Saline, a small, rural community in Texas, are the highlight of this story.
In San Saline, the residents rarely have conflict and seem almost too perfect. I still found many of her characters endearing. The budding romance between visiting free-lance journalist, Colleen, and True, the most desirable bachelor in town, is often predictable. The book is an enjoyable read if you're looking for an easy diversion and imagine you are visiting Texas.
