Cookbook buyers and foodies the world over have come to count on Ten Speed to introduce exciting young chefs and up-and-coming cuisines. In the tradition of Mark Miller's COYOTE CAFE, ROY'S FEASTS FROM HAWAII, and CHARLIE TROTTER'S, we are proud to bring you a haute take on one of America's most traditional cuisines-that of the Texas ranch. But don't be thinking ribs, beans, and biscuits . . . . unless, of course, you're thinkin' South Texas Venison Ribs with Peanut Dipping Sauce, Black Bean Nachos with Chargrilled Chicken, and West Texas Biscuit Pudding with Southern Comfort en Glace. You see, at the Reata Restaurant in West Texas, hot new chef Grady Spears is cooking cowboy cuisine with an emphasis on the cuisine. Filled with fresh, strong flavors, fascinating ranch memorabilia (these Texans take their history seriously!), gorgeous full-color food photography, and truly marvelous, utterly real food, this is American cooking at its kick-off-your-boots-and-get-down-to-business greatest.

5I use these recipes ALL THE TIME!!  Oct 19, 1999
What a fantastic cookbook. I saw a copy at my parents' house, and I was charmed by the photos and design, so I hinted at a birthday gift selection. The parents obliged, and A COWBOY IN THE KITCHEN has become my favorite cookbook. I discovered that the terrific photos and graphics are only the tip of the iceberg -- the recipes are just fantastic. I have made probably 8 or 9 of them so far, and every one was a joy to make and even more of a joy to eat! In particular, the Spicy Tomato Soup with Sourdough Croutons has been a real hit with friends at dinner parties. The classic Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy is simply divine. It's a great combination of old-timey, classic country comfort food and new-fangled, flavorsome delights. The classic Ranch Dressing and fancier Sherry Vinaigrette have become the standard salad dressings in my kitchen. I can't say enough good things about this book!

5Grady Spears; A culinary genius!  May 23, 2000 By Heath Holland
Grady Spears has written a book that can teach anyone how to cook his West Texas cowboy cuisine! He puts thing in a perspective that is simple to follow. As he states in the book, he can do this because he is not really a chef, he's just a cowboy in the kitchen!

Recipes for things such as Reata grill blend, cilantro butter, sourdough biscuts, and my favorite, buttermilk biscuts with pecans are so savory you'll feel like you're in the beautiful West Texas scenery in the book.

This book is a must for any aspiring cowboy chef!

5Required reading for Texans living in exile  Aug 21, 2000 By P. J. Willson
Grady Spears has generated a terrific cookbook, but it is also just a splendid evocation of West Texas. Texans living far from chicken fried steaks now have the ultimate recipe. The Reata Blend is worth the price of the book! Great chefs do not always produce great books, but Grady Spears has a gift for teaching people how to cook food his way. One of my favorite cookbooks.

5Grady Spears is my hero...  Jan 27, 2000 By Laura Opela
I absolutely love this cookbook with some great stories! The Reata Grill Blend & Pasilla Powder are new staples in my kitchen. I've tried lots of the recipes & have loved everyone of them--can't wait to try some more. My all time fave is the Cream of Jalapeno soup.

5Excellent Cook Book the way they ought to be!  Jun 02, 2000 By Darrell Hesseltine
The recipes from this outstanding cookbook are always requested at my house. The Reata Blend is kept in the house all the time and used on all different types of foods. Grady did a wonderful job giving us a cookbook that is traditional Texas Cuisine and not all the low fat no-flavor recipes that are so common today. Try scorching a steak with some fresh cilantro butter the way Grady does.Mmmm good!
