Grady Spears Books

With 100 recipes inspired by an unforgettable era of horseback heroes, THE TEXAS COWBOY KITCHEN is the newest cookbook from America’s celebrated cowboy-turned-chef, Grady Spears. A combination of Grady’s inimitable spin on gratifying, hearty food, and the romance of the famous Chisholm Trail where cowboys drove cattle some 130-odd years ago, this beautifully illustrated book turns simple cowboy food into gourmet creations.

In American restaurants, people order more than 348 million servings of steak per year, and in American homes, steak is the single most popular beef dish served, accounting for over 18 percent of the beef prepared and eaten at home.

reviewed:"GRADY SPEARS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!, After writing his masterpeice, A Cowboy In The Kitchen, Grady has given us a book of savory cocktails to wash down his cowboy cuisine!"

Light-hearted humor, fun ingredients, splendid beverages! The author of 'Cowboy in the Kitchen' has returned with more entertaining foods for urban cowboys, from coffee drinks and coolers to cowboy cocktails.

Reata is the name (after the ranch in the movie Giant) of the restaurant Spears opened in Alpine, TX, part of the trans-Pecos region, in early 1995; since then, he and his partner have opened another booming Reata in Forth Worth. Spears thought he wanted to be a modern cowboy, but he ended up in restaurants instead, where he serves hearty, satisfying dishes like Grilled Strip Steak with Cilantro Butter, Jalape?o Beef Stew, and Creamed Spinach with Texas Tarragon.
reviewed:"The Best Damn Cookbook to Come out of Texas! As an avid cook and an amateur collector of quality cookbooks, I've seen a lot of theme cookbooks like this that are often more story that recipe. This cookbook combines both and is my absolute favorite cookbook ever! The recipes are amazing."
