Recipes Right on Target,

This review is from: Matt Makes a Run for the Border: Recipes and Tales from a Tex-Mex Chef (Hardcover)
I've never used a book that produced meals that get more compliments from my Dallasite friends or Houston in-laws (and that's no easy feat as they are Tex-Mex experts). Matt's recipes are much simpler than those I've tried from other cookbooks while producing the same or superior results without having to soak chilies, grind them in a blender, etc. I may have to tweak flavorings some (hence 4 stars instead of 5) but the techniques and overall results can't be beat. As to how many recipes a person will use from any given cookbook ... well, in Dallas we eat a lot of this kind of food and I consider the money well spent.

This review is from: Matt Makes a Run for the Border: Recipes and Tales from a Tex-Mex Chef (Hardcover)
Without equal, the best Tex-Mex cookbook available. Want to completely blow-away your guests at a dinner party? This would be the roadmap. From Tex-Mex staples like rice and refried beans to the exotic like chili rellenos. Also included are recipes for outstanding barbecue spice rubs and the best chicken fried steak ever. Roy Ashley

Buzzard Stew?,
By Shutterpug (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Matt Makes a Run for the Border: Recipes and Tales from a Tex-Mex Chef (Hardcover)
You'll have to buy the book to read the story about "buzzard stew"!
And no... that is not one of the recipes included within. Matt and his co-author Steve Pate have a talent for making Matt's cookbooks not only a cook's friend but the stories they tell will bring a smile to your face. I was fortunate enough to take some cooking classes with Matt years ago at Whole Foods in Dallas and his classes were such fun, his stories were the best and the food has become some of my Tex-Mex favorites. The recipes are not difficult, and the ingredients are easy to find, and through all of this he shares his love of family and friends. After all... that's what cooking should be all about. You'll love his sense of humor, you'll love his recipes, and you'll love the response from your family and friends as they chow down on Matt's Tex-Mex fare. Oh, and by the way, do check out his recipe for Peach Jalapeño Bars... they are ADDICTIVE!
