Mem'ries Sweet, Comrades True

The TCU Retirees Association cookbook is a compilation of a variety of delicious recipes from the associations members. Some of the recipes have been passed from one family generation to the next. Other recipes show more current trends, such as an emphasis on nutrition and healthy eating. Many of the recipes are favorites of Horned Frog tailgaters. The book is enriched by memories about each dish that accompany the recipes. The title of the cookbook reflects these memories (memries sweet), many of which refer to colleagues, family, and friends (comrades true). Iconic pictures of the TCU campus that represent Horned Frog life are used on the cover and throughout the book. Unlike similar cookbooks published by nonprofit organizations such as the Junior League, each recipe includes a nutritional analysis of the food. Dr. Anne Vanbeber and her students from the Department of Nutrition Science at TCU provide these analyses. Dr. Vanbeber has also provided an appendix containing universal substitutions and suggestions for reducing the calorie count of some recipes where appropriate.
