Lone Star Chefs: 13 Texas Masters Share Their Culinary Creations

Part food writing, part restaurant guide, and part cookbook, this lavishly illustrated volume celebrates thirteen of the Lone Star state's most renowned chefs and the restaurants they own. Each chapter includes an essay documenting the hot days and hard nights of the profiled chefs, art-quality photos of their food and restaurant interiors, and recipes of some of their signature dishes-all capturing each chef's unique, creative vision. The idea that Texas is only a barbecue-and-beans or Tex-Mex food destination is put to rest as readers experience some of the highest-quality cuisine, from Houston and Dallas to Austin, El Paso, and Marfa.
