Customer Reviews

My go-to source for TexMex comfort food.

As much fun to read as it is to cook from. Lisa's narrative is charming, straightforward, engaging, in a word... Texan. The volume itself is a treasure. It is beautifully laid out, easy to manage, richly adorned with top flight photos, and recipes that are stunning and deliver results to make you drool. I've been a TexMex addict all of my long life, and the only other book of such quality that I know of is The Only Texas Cookbook by Linda West Eckhardt.
