 The Homesick Texan Cookbook © 2011 by Lisa Fain |
Take 10 minutes to browse the internet, and you’ll find it's packed with food blogs, spanning the globe and covering every conceivable ethnic or regional cuisine. Take 10 more minutes, and you’ll learn why Lisa Fain’s Homesick Texan has remained been considered among the best on the web since it launched in 2005. Fain, a seventh-generation Lone Star Stater who now lives in New York, is a talented chef and photographer, and her website has been lauded by every major food publication from Saveur to Bon Appetit. Now, she has finally published a cookbook of her own.
The Homesick Texan Cookbook (Hyperion, 2011) contains more than 125 Texas-style, Mexican-influenced recipes, and Fain's hearty authenticity and emphasis on fresh ingredients make it a welcome change from run-of-the-mill local food guides. Happily, many of her dishes are ideal for big gatherings. She recently shared three Super Bowl-ready recipes with Grandparents.com, and we know you’re going to love them, whether you’re a die-hard Dallas fan, a hardcore Houston homer, or even a supporter one of those other great football regions (like, maybe, New York or New England).
