The Texas Cowboy Cookbook

“The Texas cowboy is so central to American culture that even cowboys themselves buy into the mythology. Instead of settling for the usual chuckwagon tales, Robb Walsh has sorted out the facts with a clear eye and passed along the myths with a warm heart. He also serves up lots of the surprisingly tasty fare that Texas cowboys–black and white, Anglo and Hispanic, male and female–really cooked. The result is a cookbook that widens horizons.”—John Thorne, author of Outlaw Cook and Serious Pig “A Western saga of a cookbook with wild and delicious stories, photos, and recipes. It feels like a collaboration by John Wayne, Larry McMurtry, and Emiliano Zapata.”—Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva, NPR’s Kitchen Sisters

ROBB WALSH is the author of four previous Texas cookbooks, including The Tex-Mex Cookbook. He also reviews restaurants for the Houston Press. He lives in Houston, Texas.
