There are many things that are big in Texas: Wide open spaces,
personalities, hair, but above all, there's flavor! United Tastes
of Texas is your geographical guide to Texas cuisine based on five
distinct culinary regions: Central, Coastal, East, South, and West
Texas; as well as the culinary influences brought by settlers from
countries including Czechoslovakia, Germany, Mexico, and Spain.
Each chapter starts with a brief history of the region, as well as
plenty of interesting facts and bits of history including notes on
cooking equipment, stories on local chefs and restaurants that have
helped shape each of the regions, and pages of beautiful
photography and imagery. But foremost is the food: 125 recipes
featuring traditional and regional-specific dishes and cooking
methods including Texan takes on Black-Eyed Peas, Skillet
Cornbread, Shrimp Creole, Smoked Brisket, Smoked Tortilla Soup, and
one of the most classically Texan dishes - Chicken Fried Steak,
just to name a few. Whether you're a native Texan in need of recipe
inspiration, a Texas ex-pat longing for a taste of home, or a
culinary adventurer ready to explore the Lone Star State, United
Tastes of Texas packs plenty of history, travel, and food into one
book!
