Holiday Entertaining

Texas Hill Country Style

with Rebecca Rather

"The Pastry Queen"

The annual Fredericksburg Christmas parade marks the beginning of the Texas Hill Country’s holiday season. As party invitations pile up in the mailbox, Rebecca Rather is up to her elbows in sticky meringue, creamy chocolate, and a sleigh full of savory treats to meet the entertaining needs of her friends and neighbors.

Think tree-trimming, cookie decorating, and Santas running down Main Street . . . Christmastime is almost here.

Join Rebecca as she shows you how to entertain for the holidays in high Texas style.

Rebecca Rather began her career as a private caterer in Houston, before moving on to become pastry chef for Houston restaurateur Tony Vallone and his group of restaurants. After apprenticing with Daniel Leader, she worked as executive pastry chef for research and development for Schlotzsky's Bread Alone cafés. In 1999, she started her own business, Rather Sweet Bakery, in Austin. In 2001, she moved the bakery to the scenic Hill Country town of Fredericksburg, Texas, expanding to serve lunch daily and dinner on weekends. She has been featured in Texas Monthly, Gourmet, Ladies' Home Journal, Food & Wine, Southern Living, Chocolatier, and Saveur, where she was among Saveur's 100 favorites for 2003.
