This is not your typical cookbook!

This is not your typical cookbook. With illustrations by Susan Rowden and recipes by Karen Rumbley, Rose-Mary Rumbley's What! No Chili! is the story of Hank, who opens the Big Bite of Texas Cafe, only to be faced with the prospect of having no customers. The problem is that he has left chili (the official cuisine of Texas) off the menu. When Tammy Sue helps Hank whip up a super Texas chili, a Cuisinie Genie named Hot Shot pops out of the pot and gives Hank and Tammy Sue a personal tour of Texas food festivals. Readers will enjoy some great Texas culinary history and be very tempted to try some of the splendid recipes scattered through the story.

a fun to read book with lots of trivia about Texas history

If you enjoy Texas trivia, this book gives information about where towns and cities of Texas get their name. Information about the food festivals is entertaining. You never know when you might like to visit and taste some local cuisine. A fun book to read.
