    "description": "<b><i>Tex-Mex</i>&#160;is more than just a flavor-packed cookbook of tried and true recipes for comfort-food favorites like nachos, fajitas, and chili&mdash;it&rsquo;s a way of life.&#160;</b><br><br><b>&ldquo;A revelatory book that will make you want to heartily wander the border.&rdquo;&mdash;Hugh Acheson</b><br><br>It was born in the 1940s when traditional Northern Mexican cuisine collided with the robust flavors of Texas ranchers&rsquo; kitchens. Now, chef and restaurateur Ford Fry presents the definitive book on the topic with craveable recipes that are heavy on flavor and light on fuss. Peppered throughout are jump-off-the-page photographs, helpful ingredient explainers, playful histories, and important cooking tips. These melty, crispy, hot-as-heck classics include Dirty Breakfast Tacos, Grilled Shrimp Diablo, Cheese Enchiladas Con Chili Gravy, Sopaipillas with Local Honey, and more salsas than you can imagine. Pour yourself a Classic Margarita on the Rocks&mdash;don&rsquo;t forget to salt the rim&mdash;and get ready to satisfy the rumble in your stomach.<br><br><b>Praise for&#160;<i>Tex-Mex</i></b><br><br>&ldquo;Fry puts his passion into [this] approachable cookbook. . . . [<i>Tex-Mex</i>] offers recipes for&#160;all-time favorites like nachos, fajitas, and enchiladas, with lesser-known dishes like albondigas, and staples such as migas and campechana de mariscos.&rdquo; <b>&mdash;<i>The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i></b><br><br>&ldquo;Ford Fry&rsquo;s food is warm, inviting, and soulful, and his passion for all things Tex-Mex&mdash;from queso to combo plates&mdash;is contagious. If you love refried beans, salsa, enchiladas, and tacos, you&rsquo;ll want to cook everything in this beautiful and lively new book. I know I&rsquo;ll be referring to it time and time again.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Lisa Fain</b>&#160;<br><br>&ldquo;These authors make the perfect team to capture the crave-ability of Tex-Mex. This fantastic book will lead you to discover the soul of Texas&rsquo;s ultimate comfort food.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Tyson Cole</b>&#160;<br><br>&ldquo;The photos and recipes make you salivate and the stories remind you of the friends and family who you&rsquo;ve shared a basket of warm chips and salsa with countless times before. I for one plan to enjoy this book the way it was meant to be: with a big bowl of queso dip in front of me and an ice-cold margarita in hand!&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Kevin Gillespie</b>",
