Book Description
With 100 recipes inspired by an unforgettable era of horseback heroes, THE TEXAS COWBOY KITCHEN is the newest cookbook from America's celebrated cowboy-turned-chef, Grady Spears. A combination of Grady's inimitable spin on gratifying, hearty food, and the romance of the famous Chisholm Trail where cowboys drove cattle some 130-odd years ago, this beautifully illustrated book turns simple cowboy food into gourmet creations. Palate-pleasing eats from Grady's newest hit restaurant, the Chisholm Club, reflect an upscale-rustic spirit in food and language and offer a refined take on the trail-driving campfire cuisine of days gone by.

 Sorry but no real Texas Cowboy that I have ever known would cook any of this May 14, 2006
I love the beautiful photos of real cowboys- a nice pictorial history. I am sure the recipes actually taste good, and I am not accusing Grady of not being a real cowboy, I am sure he was. But sadly to me, he continues the trend of taking traditional food, which was fairly simple and tasty in itself, and re-inventing it to make it fancy restaurant fare. Like Barbecued Quail Tamales with Avocado Cream. I ordered it looking for some classic dishes that are so very good, that I might actually make. I started to order another of his books, that has a great title- just what I am looking for, but now really don't think so. I am sorry- a lot of people would love this, the contents just don't seem to go so well with the title. Perhaps 'The Modern Texas Kitchen' would have been better.
Beautiful, and great recipes December 4, 2003

This is a gorgeous, coffee table-type cookbook with its beautiful historic photos of cowboys and Texas. But the recipes are also terrific. Spears is a famous chef, but the recipes are very home cook-friendly. And lots of Texas favorites, like an updated version of Frito pie with venison chili. Only one I didn't like that much was a Dr Pepper cake. But the meat recipes are great. So are the campfire cocktails!

It has been a ton of fun looking through my newest cookbook!! I have even tried a couple of the recipes! The addition of the Smith photos (from the Amon Carter Collection) is a huge bonus...they add a dimension to the book that is unique but somehow essential. Ever since I got the first Reata cookbook I've thought it could not be improved upon. I was dead wrong. Everyone I have showed this book to has had the same reaction...it is the most appealing "cookbook" they have ever seen! The reason I put the word in quotes is that it is to everyone who has seen it much more than a recipe binder and that is what I like about it best. It is one part history, one part food, sprinkled with Texana, a story unfolding from a passionate soul. Fire up the stove and gather 'round!! It's time to eat!!
Congratulations, Grady!! You have much to be proud of!!
