The Austin Cookbook
A cookbook that captures Austin's hotter-than-hot food scene
The story of Austin food is equal parts deep Texan traditions and a booming food scene. It is this atmosphere that has fostered some of the hottest restaurants in the country, a lively food truck community, and a renaissance in the most Texan of foods: barbecue. Austin food is also tacos and Tex-Mex, old-fashioned Southern cooking, and street food and fine dining, with influences from all over the globe. And above all, it's a source of intense pride and inspiration for chefs and diners alike.
Organised by Austin's "major food groups" - like barbecue, tacos, and Tex-Mex - The Austin Cookbook explores the roots of Texas food traditions and the restaurants that are reinventing them. It reveals the secrets to Bob Armstrong dip, Odd Duck's sweet potato nachos, East Side King's beet fries, and of course, smoked brisket that has people lining up to eat it - even in the Texas summer.
Part cookbook, part souvenir, and 100 percent love letter, The Austin Cookbook is perfect for proud locals, visitors, and (t)ex-pats.
