The Homesick Texan: Cookbook by Lisa
Fain (2014) First Ed.
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
When Lisa Fain, a seventh-generation Texan, moved to New York
City, she missed the big sky, the bluebonnets in spring, Friday night football,
and her family's farm. But most of all, she missed the foods she'd grown up
with.
After a fruitless search for tastes of Texas in New York City, Fain took
matters into her own hands. She headed into the kitchen to cook for her friends
the Tex-Mex, the chili, and the country comfort dishes that reminded her of
home. From cheese enchiladas drowning in chili gravy to chicken-fried steak
served with cream gravy on the side, from warm bowls of chile con queso to big
pots of fiery chili made without beans,
Fain re-created the wonderful tastes of Texas she'd always enjoyed at potlucks,
church suppers, and backyard barbecues back home.
In 2006, Fain started the blog Homesick Texan to share Texan food with fellow
expatriates, and the site immediately connected with readers worldwide, Texan
and non-Texan alike. Now, in her long-awaited first cookbook, Fain brings the comfort
of Texan home cooking to you.
Like Texas itself, the recipes in this book are varied and diverse, all filled
with Fain's signature twists. There's Salpicón, a cool shredded beef salad
found along the sunny border in El Paso; Soft Cheese Tacos, a creamy plate unique
to Dallas; and Houston-Style Green Salsa, an avocado and tomatillo salsa that
is smooth, refreshing, and bright. There are also nibbles, such as Chipotle
Pimento Cheese and Tomatillo Jalapeno Jam; sweet endings, such as Coconut Tres
Leches Cake and Mexican Chocolate Chewies; and fresh takes on Texan classics,
such as Coffee-Chipotle Oven Brisket, Ancho Cream Corn, and Guajillo-Chile Fish
Tacos.
With more than 125 recipes, The Homesick Texan offers
a true taste of the Lone Star State. So pull up a chair-everyone's welcome at
the Texas table!
Review:
Sunday Night Supper: Kid Tested Jalapeno Mustard Chicken!!!
I love this book! Every recipe works and works beautifully.
I've been cooking from it ever since I bought it a couple of weeks ago and have
written about it twice for Patch. I can't say enough good things about her
green chile chowder and her jalapeno mustard chicken (Patch review below.)
Thank you, Lisa Fain! I can't wait for your next book.
