Overview
“Paula Forbes’s first book is an enthusiastic love letter to her adopted hometown . . . The book can easily double as a restaurant guide.” ―Food & Wine
“Delightful asides from prominent Austin-based chefs . . . Convinces the reader that eating (like she does) in Austin is a whole heckuva lot of fun.” ―Eater
The story of Austin food is equal parts deep Texan traditions and a booming food scene. It is this atmosphere that has fostered some of the hottest restaurants in the country, a lively food truck community, and a renaissance in the most Texan of foods: barbecue.
Organized by Austin’s “major food groups”—like barbecue, tacos, and Tex-Mex—The Austin Cookbook explores the roots of Texas food traditions and the restaurants that are reinventing them, revealing the secrets to:
- Bob Armstrong Dip
- Chile con Carne Enchiladas
- Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy
- Lucy’s Fried Chicken
- Parkside Macaroni
- Baked Oysters
- Cadillac Bar Pie
- Oxtail Pappardelle with Rutabaga
- Grilled Quail with Green Mole
- Sweet Potato Nachos
- Huevos Rancheros
- Texas Benedict
- And more!
Part cookbook, part souvenir, and 100 percent love letter, The Austin Cookbook is perfect for proud locals, visitors, and (t)expats.
