Book Review: "Edible Dallas And Fort Worth: The Cookbook" Edited by Terri Taylor
Edited by Terri Taylor Edible Dallas & Fort Worth:
The Cookbook showcases the regional cuisine of the local area. Like everything else, the local cuisine reflects
the spirit of competition between the cities as well as the traditional image
in the local and national media. Whether it is the Western roots of Fort Worth
known as “Cowtown” and where the West begins, or the cutting edge new wave of
whatever is about to be hip in Dallas, there should be something for everyone
to enjoy in this 173 page book based on
the magazine “Edible Dallas & Fort Worth.”
The book opens naturally enough with “Starters.”
Here in Chapter 1 you will find “Grilled Watermelon Salad (page 6) and “Peach
Pico De Gallo” (page 9) as well as “Fried Squash Blossoms With Herbed Goat
Cheese” (page 29) among others. Most of the starters are geared towards the
warm weather months. Each recipe features a little history behind the item as
well as a tip regarding preparation, storage, etc. Most recipes also feature a
picture of he finished dish. Unfortunately, there is not nutritional
information at all for those who might want to make healthier versions or
substitute ingredients.
Chapter 2 starts on pages 28-29 and is all about “Soups,
Sandwiches, And Such” with the items involved featuring a Texas twist. Here you
will find the “One-Ball Squash Sandwich (page 31), “Swine Blue Tacos” (pages
40-41) and “Spicy Corn, Crab, and Black Bean Salad” (page 47) among others.
Greens, variations of potato salads, and lots more
can be found in “Chapter 3: Sides.” Dishes like “Aunt Mabel’s Rutabaga
Casserole” (page 62), “Warm Roasted Potato, Bacon, And Blue Cheese Salad” (page
70) and “Swiss Chard Lasagna” (page 89) among others are here. Like in the other
chapters, interspersed between the recipes, are informative pieces tied into
the very local eateries, food suppliers, and cultural history of each city.
As everyone knows, Texas is cattle country. But, there
is far more than beef for dinner in “Chapter 4: Mains.” Starting on pages 94-95
with “Chicken Roulades With Goat Cheese And Spinach” and ending with “Stuffed
Artichokes” on pages 126-127, and variety is present here as it is throughout
the book. It is not just about various steaks, chicken fried steak, and chili con
carne though those are here as well.
Based off of local peaches, figs, berries, and more
is “Chapter 5: Desserts and Drinks.” Whether you want a desert like “Texas Baklava
With Figs, Pecans, And Sherry-Poached Asian Pears (pages 130-131) or “Texas
Grapefruit Pie” (pages 134-135) or a drink such as “Lavender Mint Gimlet” (page
152) or the “Texas Two-Step Sipper” (page 157) there is something here for you.
This colorful 175 page book closes with a five page resource
section, an acknowledgement section and a five page index.
While the complete lack of nutritional information
is a definite drawback, overall Edible Dallas & Fort Worth: The Cookbook
edited by Terri Taylor, who is also the editor of the related magazine, is a
good cookbook. Filled with photographs,
Texas history as well as regional information, and plenty of recipes, this is a
solidly good cookbook that presents very well and is filled with plenty of good
meals.
