The Tex-Mex Grill and Backyard Barbacoa Cookbook: More Than 85 Sizzling Recipes

I like this cookbook.If you are looking for a book that gives good recipes on what you can cook for tex mex, this covers those foods very well.obviously, you can embellish on the recipes on your own, but what they give you is great information.

I'm a Robb Walsh fan from the Houston Press restaurant reviews - and this is my 3rd Robb Walsh book purchase through Amazon. I enjoy his writing style and his tastes apparently. I also like to grill and all these recipes are within my skillset. You know what I mean - you buy Julia Childs and you go "there ain't no #$%^ing way I can cook that". These recipes bring a fresh approach to your backyard grilling. Whether you are cooking a steak for you and the Mrs. or a tailgate for the masses at Reliant Stadium - this is going to help. If you never cook a thing - you will still enjoy the stories and the writing.

Like all of Walsh's titles, The Tex-Mex Grill can be read as a history and cultural lesson just as easily as it can be read for its recipes. It's filled with both vintage and current photographs, and plenty of instructions, tips and sources for perfect preparation. Most important, The Tex-Mex Grill is Walsh's typical good blend of the common and the not-so-common (but not too haughty), and the drinks to go with it all. This cookbook also seems to be geared more toward the "healthier" side of Tex-Mex...more fish and veggies for the grill. Really looking forward to trying it all.

I first saw this book at the library where I checked it out...in more ways than one! I was facinated by the loads of historical facts, stories, and pictures. After almost wearing out the pages, I knew that I had to have this for my own personal shelf. I also ordered extra copies for family members that love to cook and enjoy the history of foods. GREAT PURCHASE....

Loved the history and recipes

Very entertaining and delicious. The historical information is enlightening. Walsh is a great research writer and tells the human side - coupled with the "family recipes," I am taken back to younger days in Corpus. Great job!

We own several of Robb Walsh's cookbooks ... all are great, not only because of the wonderful recipes, but also because of the stories and commentaries in each book. We would highly recommend this Cookbook as well as the others!

Nice book...nice pictures
