Texas Cowboy Cooking Apr 09, 2000
By John Wrenn
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.

You Too Can Cook Like a Cowboy (And Cowboys Can Cook) May 23, 2000
By Pat Schieffer
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.

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.
