The Homesick Texan's Family Table

Shop Notes:

I'm fairly honest about my extreme love of Texas cuisine - to the point where I travel there every year or so for a week of food touring and BBQ pit hopping.  It's a gluttonous, sunny, and incredibly fun adventure I would recommend to just about anyone.  As such, I can say with some experience that Lisa Fain's recipes are the real deal, and often are improvements on the real deal.  This cookbook is a winner.

From the Publisher:

From beloved food blogger Lisa Fain, aka the Homesick Texan, comes this follow-up to her wildly popular debut cookbook, featuring more than 125 recipes for wonderfully comforting, ingredient-driven Lone Star classics that the whole family will love.

With The Homesick Texan's Family Table, Fain serves up more of the appealing, accessible, and downright delicious fare that has made her blog so popular. Featuring a mix of down-home standards and contemporary updates, all of the recipes are made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, yet still packed with real Texas flavor.
