Thank you to Cheryl Jamison, Quarto Publishing Group, Harvard Common Press, and NetGalley for this free honest reviewer copy of "Texas Slow Cooker: 125 Recipes for the Lone Star State's Very Best Dishes, All Slow-Cooked to Perfection."

Let me let you in on a secret: I deeply love reviewing books from Texas, as they both fill me with so much delight in existing and they make me grade a little harder in reviews because I am a born a bred Texan of three and half decades.

I was pleasantly show more surprised and pleased with this book (which came as no surprise since this married duo has four award-winning cookbooks already). The dishes range in every direction from breakfasts to meals, chicken, seafood, appetizers, and snacks for all occasions, soups, stews, even desserts. Every way you've never thought about slow cooking, they bring you in clear color and beautifully detailed points.

My only downside note on this is that the cookbook does not have enough pictures as compared to some of the other brilliant books it could be compared to. show less

Amazing variety of recipes, many of which are great for other times of the day besides the morning. Covers the expected basics of breakfast foods but then branches out in so many directions.

Please Purchase! I love this book. I have bought them for presents as well. So well written. There are tons of wonderful recipes... and I love some of the history and some clips from menus from long, long ago so you can see what they ate for breakfast. A MUST Have book.

This is a pretty thorough treatise on Texas cooking, though its not arranged geographically. I'm afraid some favorites are not there! There are good indexes for people and place names. The section with chili recipes is great!
