Review: My dad (a reviewer of this book too) and stepmother showed my husband and I their cookbook. I wasn't really interested in it but my husband was drooling over the recipes. We finally decided to order it and we have been trying all kinds of recipes and 90% of what we tried we love. We use it all the time for parties and dinners.

Review: No one else needs to write another cookbook on this subject. Tom Perini wins hands down! Not only is it a feast for the eyes, it is absolutely chock full of the most delicious culinary creations ever known to man or woman. There's no "trick food" here - just honest to goodness All American Fare. You don't need to live on El Rancho Grande to prepare this delicious food. Why even a City Slicker could whomp up these vittles. The recipes are clear and easy to follow and Tom's sidebar comments are not only amusing, but helpful. The photographs are amazing and the historical tidbits are extremely interesting. The author's warmth and personality come through in his superbly written treatise on cowboy cookin'. Amen and pass the cream gravy. Yum, yum!

Summary: Texas Cowboy Cooking
Review: 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.

Summary: Texas Cowboy Cooking
Review: The book would be a welcome addition to any cookbook library, but we don't think you will be content looking at this book on a shelf. Our guess is the purchaser will find the book being used over and over. There is a wonderful variety of recipes from which to choose, whether preparing a meal for family or friends from the neighboring ranches or, shoot, if you happen to live in a city then this type of cooking is sure to please. Over the years we have been fortunate to enjoy many pounds of prime rib cooked the Perini way with the flavor of the beef drawn out with his Texas Herb Rub found on page 85, cooked over mesquite coals and served with some of the delicous recipes that can be found in the side dishes section, followed by Tom's bread pudding with whiskey sauce found on page 173, leaves me hoping others will be so fortunate. In additon to recipes, the book is filled with ranch photographs taken by a well-known rancher/photographer and the food photography is stunning. Also the information about historic ranches, ranch cooking and the old photographs will be fascinating to anyone with an interest in real Texas food told by a man who is now sharing great food ideas with you.
