The editors of Texas Monthly celebrate the ever-evolving culinary landscape of the Lone Star State in this stunning cookbook, featuring more than 100 recipes, gorgeous color photos, and insightful essays.

When it comes to food, Texas may be best known for its beloved barbecue and tacos. But at more than 29 million people, the state is one of the most culturally diverse in America—and so is its culinary scene. From the kolaches introduced by Czechs settlers to the Hill Country in the 1800s to the Viet-Cajun crawfish that Vietnamese immigrants blessed Houston with in the early 2000s, the tastes on offer here are as vast and varied as the 268,596 square miles of earth they spring from.

In The Big Texas Cookbook, the editors of the award-winning magazine Texas Monthly have gathered an expansive collection of recipes that reflects the state’s food traditions, eclectically grouped by how Texans like to start and end the day (Rise and Shine, There Stands the Glass), how they revere their native-born ingredients (Made in Texas), and how they love the people, places, and rituals that surround their favorite meals (On Holiday, Home Plates). Getting their very own chapters—no surprise—are the behemoths mentioned above, barbecue and Tex-Mex (Smoke Signals, Con Todo). With recipes for über-regional specialties like venison parisa, home cooking favorites like King Ranch casserole, and contemporary riffs like a remarkable Lao beef chili, The Big Texas Cookbook pays homage to the cooks who long ago shaped the state’s food culture and the ones who are building on those traditions in surprising and delightful ways.

Packed with atmospheric photos, illustrations, and essays, The Big Texas Cookbook is a vivid culinary portrait of the land, its people, and its past, present, and future.

Queso

Brisket

Suzie’s Okra Salad

GREEN CHILE HOMINY

Serves 8

The James Beard Award–winning Perini Ranch Steakhouse, in tiny Buffalo Gap, is a destination restaurant serving up elevated Texas comfort food alongside loads of Texas hospitality. This is one of the restaurant’s simpler recipes, but it’s as decadent as it gets.

Preheat the oven to 325ºF.

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, fry the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and chop it. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the onions to the remaining bacon fat in the pan and cook until transparent, about 4 minutes.

Add three-quarters of the bacon and three-quarters of the chiles to the onions, along with the hominy. Add the reserved hominy liquid and pickled jalapeño brine, stir to combine, and bring to a boil.

One handful at a time, stir in three-quarters of the cheese until melted.

Pour the hominy mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Combine the last quarter of the bacon, the chiles, and cheese, and sprinkle over the hominy.

Bake until the cheese on top is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve as a hearty side dish to a meaty main course.

Ingredients: 10 slices bacon 1 cup chopped white onion 2 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, drained (about 1 cup) 4 (15-ounce) cans white hominy, drained, white ½ cup of the liquid reserved 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeño brine ½ pound cheddar cheese, grated

Title: Good cookbook
Review: I bought this for my daughter in law for her birthday. I thought this was something she and my son might enjoy. I looked through it prior to sending it to her. The recipes sounded good and easy.

Title: Great cookbook
Review: I've been cooking from this cookbook for the past month and have been very pleased. There are plenty of Texas staples (BBQ, salsa, Texas sheet cake), but other recipes show how diverse Texas is (Laos0-, Czech-, Chinese-fusion recipes). The pictures are clear, and it's a great book to read and learn more about Texas food. I will be giving this as a gift to my international friends.

Title: Expatriate
Review: Having left Texas some 20 years ago to pursue other job opportunities, I have pined for it's originality in many ways but largely with food. Who would think that just 10 years ago, no one in Washington State knew what a breakfast taco was, let alone a Carne Guisada taco. Don't get me started on Fajitas. In the South Texas of the 80s and 90s, fajita was Beef, skirt steak specifically.Out of necessity, and having learned well how to smoke all meats, I've had to satisfy my yearning for quality tex Mex by cooking at home. Here in NM burritos are king and in my small town there is no skirt steak to be found, although I couldn't afford it even if it was. All this to say... Great job, authentic recipes, a well written narrative, and truly enjoyable to read. I will come back to it over and over. Thank you.

Title: Great source for Texas cuisine
Review: This book has so many great recipes from our great state of Texas. From appetizers all the way to cocktails, you'll find neat recipes. Some might require a bit of tweaking, I suggest you follow the recipe the first time and then add or remove as needed on the second try.

Review: I cannot wait to dig in and all garlicky and floury making some of these no nonsense dishes; from gumbo to chilli, carnitas, tacos to good homemade biscuits and gravy. The stories I’m between some recipes are enlightening and entertaining.
