You'll find plenty of recipes in this Texas-sized cookbook, but just like our great state, this book is full of unexpected extras. Here is a multi-cultural, inclusive celebration of slow-cooking techniques across decades of history and miles of Texas roads. Urban and rural, Mexican, African, German and Anglo traditions and how they have interwoven are all explored. Also included: many personal stories and photos of great cooks, advise on choosing and using barbeque equipment, a list of great eateries, and a cook-off calendar.
