Cheryl Jamison - Texas Slow Cooker: 125 Recipes for the Lone Star States Very Best Dishes, All Slow-Cooked to Perfection

PRAISE FOR TEXAS SLOW COOKER

As a fifth generation West Texan, practically raised in a truck-stop cafe, I like to think I know a thing or two about Texas culture and cooking. Much has been written about Texas food over the years, but to my mind no one has quite captured the true essence of the genre like Cheryl Alters Jamison and her late husband Bill Jamison.

I am thrilled that Cheryl is continuing that Texas tradition by herself in this glorious new cookbook. While she updates classic Texas dishes such as King Ranch Chicken Casserole and creates brilliant new ones like Rio Star Grapefruit Pudding Cake, her adaptation and simplification for the slow cooker of the iconic Yucatan dish, Cochinita Pibil, much loved in Texas, is nothing short of brilliant and worth the price of this book alone.
