"The state of Texas cookery is alive and well and properly celebrated in a lively cookbook"
Book Description
From tall skyscrapers to wide open prairie land, from rugged cowboys to delicate debutantes, from haute cuisine to open-pit barbecue, Texas is a land of great diversity. Eighty of the leading cookbooks from the Lone Star State have contributed their favorite recipes to create this comprehensive collection—an invitation to a "giant Texas tasting party." Fantastic fare such as Bad Hombre Eggs, Son-of-a-Gun Stew, Sula's Stir-Fry Okra, Mexican Chocolate Cake, Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas, and South Texas Barbequed Shrimp are just a sampling of the 500 or so recipes included in these pages.
Best of the Best from Texas is the third volume in Quail Ridge Press' acclaimed Best of the Best State Cookbook Series, and remains one of the most popular titles. The series now contains thirty volumes, including an outstanding follow-up to this book, Best of the Best from Texas II.
Best of the Best from Texas—continuing the tradition of Preserving America's Food Heritage.

Great Food - Great Book!, February 18, 2002
Reviewer: A reader
This was one of the very first cookbooks I ever purchased and it has been a mainstay in my kitchen ever since. The recipes are clear and concise. Not to mention all the recipes are incredibly delicious. I was raised in Austin and now reside in Colorado so it was great to take this cookbook with me. My family and I love the brisquet recipe, the chicken fried steak, king ranch chicken and countless others. It was also nice to be able to bring some of the great food I grew up on into my own kitchen and prepare these meals for friends and family. This is definitely a cookbook for anyone who loves southern, texmex and the in between. I highly recommend it. Texans definitely know how to cook!
