A Cowboy in the Kitchen: Recipes from Reata and Texas West of the Pecos by Grady Spears. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781580080040.

A haute take on one of Americas most traditional cuisines--that of the Texas ranch. Dont be thinking this book is just full of ribs, beans, and biscuits . . . . unless, of course, youre thinkin South Texas Venison Ribs with Peanut Dipping Sauce, Black Bean Nachos with Chargrilled Chicken, and West Texas Biscuit Pudding with Southern Comfort en Glace. You see, at the Reata Restaurant in West Texas, hot chef Grady Spears is cooking cowboy cuisine with an emphasis on the cuisine. Filled with fresh, strong flavors, fascinating ranch memorabilia (these Texans take their history seriously!), gorgeous full-color food photography, and truly marvelous, utterly real food, this is American cooking at its kick-off-your-boots-and-get-down-to-business greatest.
