Wonderful photography! Makes you want to hop in the car, on an empty stomach, and see/taste everything shown in this wonderful guide book !

Slow Food (eating local) in Texas explored!

Not only is this a celebration of eating local -- it's a Hill Country travel guide to boot! Terry searches central Texas with one thing on her mind: local food with local folks! What a treat to see so many wonderful home-grown businesses featured. From fantastic bakeries & restaurants, to fresh picked apples & peaches, wineries, fresh goat cheese & olive oil and lavender trails --- no culinary aspect of the Hill Country is missed (a number of great recipes are included too). Of course not every farm & restaurnt is visited -there are just too many! But she does a great job to tempt all of us to travel the backroads and explore Texas's rich culinary diversity. Epicuiran delight!

This book is a joy to read cover to cover. It contains information on great places to visit such as the hill country vineyards and fabulous places to dine in the Texas Hill Country. Great information if you are planning a visit or if you live in the area and want to know what you are missing out on. It's beautiful sitting on my kitchen island!

I grew up in San Antonio. My Dad's relatives all had farms and ranches west of town...in the "Texas Hill Country". Growing up, I was on those farms and ranches working and playing as often as time would allow.
This book is a great tribute to this wonderful area of Texas. The Hill Country feels like home to me and this book really brought that back in a big way. The country side, the people....the way of life. Fantastic.
The book's full of great photography and the reviews are short, sweet and accurate. What a great guide.

My husband and I love to get away to the Hill Country as often as we can. This wonderful book has given us ideas of new places to explore and new restaurants to try. We recently went with friends to the Hill Top Cafe near Fredericksburg, based on what we had read in the book. What a fantastic evening we had! Can't wait to try out more of the great restaurants (and recipes) found in the book. The photographs are stunning and make you feel you are right there. This book will make a great gift for all our friends!

A wonderful book with great pictures and ideas for day trips in the hill country. Truly facsinating, going places I haven't been yet but need to try.

One of the best cookbooks I have read in a long time. Lots of great recipes and also makes you want to take a trip down to the Texas Hill County. A 5 Star book in my opinion.

I bought this book after a visit to the Texas Hill country. It is a pretty comprehensive review of restaurants and winerys located there. I am giving it as a birthday gift to a friend. I hope he enjoys it as much as I did.

Pick a city, read about it's history, and spend an afternoon or a day visiting new places. Delightful!

We're moving near to the Hill Country soon and were looking for more info and places to go once we get there. This is a great introduction to the food and wines of the region and those out of the way places you only hear about. We'll definitely use this as a reference for our travels.
