Book Overview

Cowboy cooking isn't fancy, but once you've had the real thing you don't forget it. Tom Perini cut his teeth in the ranching business and accumulated the kind of cooking know-how and recipe arsenal that just can't be taught. His authentic "chuck" bridges the gap between life on the trail and in the backyard. From Jalepeno Bites to Ranch-Roasted Ribeye to Tom's classic Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce, Texas Cowboy Cooking is chock full of recipes...

You Too Can Cook Like a Cowboy (And Cowboys Can Cook)

By Bob Schieffer We're Texans and knew Texas Cowboy Cooking would be for us but we put it to the ultimate test: we had a dinner party, made sure we invited no one from below the Mason-Dixon line and served only food described in this book. And the answer is..they licked their plates clean and would have eaten more if it had been there. I call that a real final answer. My wife Pat who is the chief cook and bottle washer at our Washington D.C. corral served up a tenderloin done up in the dry rub described in the book and surrounded it with hominy and green chilis, black eyed peas with okra after a gazpacho start. We finished off with the peach crisp. Comments ranged from Wow! to Hot Damn! (actually that last one came from me) and we're talking people who had never seen hominy. Most of all this is a book about cooking meat and Author Tom Perini may know more about it than anyone on earth. If you can find a fire and a good or even an average piece of meat he can show you how to make it taste better than anything you've ever put in your mouth. But like his combo of jalapenos and hominy, he'll also introduce you to some dishes you may never have heard of and every one is better than the next one. The bonus here is that you could throw all the recipes out and this would still be a great coffee table book filled with terrific pictures of Texas Ranch life. Buy this book. We can't all live on a ranch but we can sure eat like cowboys.

Pure Texas!

Texas Cowboy Cooking makes your stomach growl with anticipation! The recipes are easy to understand and end up exactly as described. An added bonus is the beautiful photography and brief histories of Texas ranches. One of the better cookbooks on the market today.

Texas Cowboy Cooking

Texas Cowboy Cooking by Tom Perini arrived yesterday. It is a cookbook that makes you want to jump up and make the recipes as you are turning the pages of the book. We have already tried the Cowboy Bloody Mary, Lisa's Favorite Caesar Salad, the seasoned olive oil for the Sourdough Bread Chips to use as croutons for the salad and are in the process of making the Sourdough Starter for the Sourdough Bread. It's the best Caesar Dressing that we've tried and the croutons are very good.The historical information is good and has added color to this cookbook. It is not Texas boastful--simply well done. We plan on giving it as Christmas gifts to family members who have visited us here in Abilene, Texas.

A Big Fan From Abilene

Word has it that if he is elected president, George W. Bush will ask Tom Perini to be his White House chef. This book gives ample reason why George W. has such a high opinion of Tom's food. My family and I are frequent visitors to his steakhouse, and Tom seems to have included recipes for every one of his restaurant dishes. These are by far the best barbeque, steaks, and ribs that you will ever prepare, and the other recipes are yummy, too. This is a cookbook that I think you will use far more than whatever other cookbooks that are sitting on your kitchen shelf.

Cowboy Culture & Cuisine!

Since we frequent Perini's Steakhouse, we know Tom's award-winning cuisine first-hand! His cookbook is a "no-holds barred" approach... giving ALL of his famous recipes from his unbeatable steak rub to green chile hominy to his signature bread pudding with whiskey sauce! In addition to fabulous recipes, the book also showcases wonderful photography depecting life in West Texas. Sidelines feature insights into several famous Texas ranches. Your cookbook collection shouldn't be without this book! It is one you will be sure to use often!
