The Best from Helen Corbitt's Kitchens

Helen Corbitt is to American cuisine what Julia Child is to French. Stanley Marcus declared Helen Corbitt "the Balenciaga of Food." Earl Wilson described her simply as "the best cook in Texas." Lyndon B. Johnson loved her stroganoff and wished she would accompany him--and Lady Bird--to the White House to run the dining room. As Director of Food Services for Neiman Marcus, she traveled widely, bringing recipes back to tantalize Texans' tastebuds. She dazzled celebrities and dignitaries who flocked to the famed Zodiac Room at Neiman Marcus for delicious cuisine. The Best from Helen Corbitt's Kitchen selects more than five hundred recipes from her cookbooks as well as including previously unpublished recipes from her cooking school.
