Beef Tenderloin with Mustard Brown Sugar Glaze

     Debbie Meyer Gore’s cookbook, Good Friends Great Tastes, is the source of the beef tenderloin that my sister Marla prepared for Christmas Eve. Celebrating life, food and friendship, the book is a collection of both Debbie’s recipes and those of her friends.
     Joan and Rick Lewis were the actual contributors of the tenderloin recipe. Debbie and her husband, Joan and Rick, Marla and Steve, and several other couples all belong to a “Dinner Club” that dates back to 1989. In her book Debbie explained, “Joan held the annual holiday dinner club for the first few years. She made this special beef tenderloin and it is delicious.” She recommends allowing approximately ½ pound of tenderloin per person.
     Debbie’s book is full of delicious recipes and is also now available in a revised edition. Marla assisted with the editing of both books. In a recent note, Debbie also informed me that the book is "now available on Kindle--all the recipes and over 300 pages just $.99."
