Weekend Cooking: Dean Fearing and The Texas Food Bible

He's not from Texas.

And he never meant to become a cook.

But aren't we glad he did?

Dean Fearing opened the first white tablecloth American cuisine restaurant in 1981 in Dallas. He cooked for us at the Texas Book Festival. 

 He's seen every new trend in cooking come and go. 

What's the next wave in cooking, you ask? "Everyone's going to be reading The Texas Food Bible," he boldly replies.



Weekend Cooking is hosted by Beth Fish Reads and is open to anyone who has any kind of food-related post to share: Book (novel, nonfiction) reviews, cookbook reviews, movie reviews, recipes, random thoughts, gadgets, quotations, photographs. If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up anytime over the weekend. You do not have to post on the weekend. Please link to your specific post, not your blog's home page. For more information, see the welcome post.

Saturday Snapshot is now hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads. To participate in Saturday Snapshot: post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky below. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see.

    And I'm in luck! My library has a copy so I've put in a request to check it out. I'm definitely intrigued--I've never heard of Dean Fearing before.

    The Texas Food Bible has just been added to my shopping list -- for my husband. Sounds like the perfect gift for someone who loves to cook, especially Texas and Tex-Mex foods. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Pass the fried okra, please.
    Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

    Texas Food Bible? I only know Tex-Mex food, so I guess I should get this book to find out what else people eat in Texas!
