The Texas Cookbook
$19.95
“As exuberant at the State, and full of amusing information and good recipes from every part of it…Great fun for Texans and non-Texans alike.”
-New York Times Book Review

The Texas Cookbook captures the flavor and diversity of the cuisine of the Lone Star State. Mary Faulk Koock traveled throughout Texas gathering recipes from ranch kitchens and city hostesses. Scattered among these are the author’s anecdotes from her vast and varied encounters with the famous and influential.

In Austin John Henry Faulk,, the author’s brother, savors Quail Pie with J. Frank Dobie, Walter Prescott, Roy Bedichek, and Moody Boatright. Fort Worth’s Van Cliburn enjoys the hostess’s biscuit and offers his own recipe for a whole-wheat variety. Here is Lady Bird Johnson’s (the LBJ Ranch) Peach Ice Cream and some expected classics such as Lee’s Chili (Amarillo), Venison Roast (the King Ranch), and Black-eyed Peas with Okra (Austin). But you will also find the unusual in Roasted Wild Turkey (the Hill Country), Fried Apricot Pies (Fredricksburg), and Watermelon Rind Preserves (Luling). Regional contributions shine in Sauerbraten (Kerrville), Crawfish Etoufee (Beaumont), and Salsa Brava (Brownsville). Call 512-444-4747 to order or just drop on by 811 W. Live Oak.
