Well Done ─ SFA 90+ Years and Cooking

Well Done: Stephen F. Austin State University 90th Anniversary Cookbook is a veritable feast and a unique book in many ways.

For readers interested in East Texas history or for alumni of Stephen F. Austin State University,Well Done provides an exceptional pictorial profile and overview of the university, its campus, its events, and its array of characters spanning 90 years.

Among the photographs are those of historical figures who played prominently on the SFA campus and in the larger Nacogdoches community, athletes past to present, students, faculty, games, social activities, and so on. Each page is a visual surprise, and nostalgia becomes a heartwarming occasion here.

Were this not palatable enough in itself, the book is also a comprehensive cookbook, containing a variety of wonderful recipes that readers and cooking enthusiasts anywhere may enjoy. The recipes are tried and true and provided for the occasion by campus luminaries, faculty, and SFA friends.

As an illustrated cookbook, Well Done is a true delight for eyes and for appetites, and the careful fusion of photographs and foods is remarkable.
