"You would think for a state as big and diverse as Texas that no
single cookbook could truly capture all it has to offer, but you
would be wrong. The Big Texas Cookbook is just what the
name promises – a large book filled with recipes, stories and lush
photos that depict the beauty of Texas food, chefs, and culinary
traditions. Whether you live in the Lone Star State or
you have a hankering for our food, this book is a must-have for
your collection." — Tracy Vaught, restaurateur, and Hugo
Ortega, executive chef, Hugo’s, Caracol, and
Xochi, Houston
"The Big Texas Cookbook celebrates the wonderfully diverse and
culturally nuanced food of Texas with a mouth-watering collection
of recipes from across the state." — Lisa and Tom Perini, owners,
Perini Ranch Steakhouse, Buffalo Gap
“What is Texan food? That was a complex question one hundred years
ago and it’s even harder to answer today. But The Big Texas
Cookbook nails it. Texas in every sense is broad, deep, roomy, and
inclusive: from Hill Country barbecue and a bowl of Texas red to
kolaches and Tex-namese crawfish boils, it's all here. Delicious
recipes? Absolutely. A new definition of what it means to be Texan
exemplified by the food itself? Hell yes!” — Andrew Zimmern, James
Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, and author
"The editors of Texas Monthly deliver reader favorites
from the magazine’s 50-year history, as well as stunning recipes
that highlight the culinary influence of the immigrants who call
the state home. . . .Those who crave bold flavors will relish this
collection of Lone Star exceptionalism." — Publishers Weekly,
