Texas Eats: The New Lone Star Heritage Cookbook, with More Than 200 Recipes

Who says cooking is for homebodies? Veteran Texas food writer Robb Walsh served as a judge at a chuck wagon cook-off, worked as a deckhand on a shrimp boat, and went mayhaw-picking in the Big Thicket–for seven years, he drove the length and breadth of the state looking for the best in barbecue, burgers, kolaches, and tacos, while scouring museums, libraries, and public archives unearthing vintage photos, culinary stories, and nearly-forgotten dishes. Then he headed home to Houston to test the recipes he’d collected back in his own  kitchen. The result is Texas Eats: The New Lone Star Heritage Cookbook , a colorful and deeply personal blend of history, anecdotes, and recipes from all over the Lone Star State.
