Not broad enough or different enough from their other cookbooks for me to want to purchase this--I would get Smoke and SPice instead

[Emma Penner · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of these recipes require a smoker or a hole in the ground. I don’t have either at the moment, however I would like to revisit this book once I do. The compiler had a good sense of humour, and included many tips that are helpful to me. I felt like I was being talked to by a true Texan. If you want to make good meat dishes- take a look at this book ;)

If flames engulfed my home and I could save only one of my cookbooks this would be the one. With a variety of recipes from Texas style BBQ to old Southern favorites like Chicken Fried Steak you will not be disappointed. Lots of history, quips, and quotes in this book keep it fresh and fun.

I know, I know...a cookbook from Texas? But this must be the best regional cookbook I have ever used. You will be surprised at how wonderful it is, trust me.

Reading through this book was like taking a trip back in time to family dinners with grandmothers and great-grandmothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, and great aunts. <3

Buy this cookbook. Seriously, you need a copy of this cookbook on your bookshelf; but, don't keep it on the bookshelf, languishing away. Take it off of your bookshelf and make the recipes.
