Tex-Mex by Robb Walsh or Legends of Texas Barbecue by Robb Walsh.

quote:

My original copy of Legends of Texas Barbecue has been with me since the beginning. It’s badly worn with dog-eared pages and plenty of grease and barbecue sauce stains. A lot has changed since those days, and Robb Walsh has been there to help shape and document the evolution of Texas Barbeuce. This new edition is a must-have.” -Aaron Franklin Author of Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto

Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan is very good.

Kenji Lopez-Alt's The Food Lab is fun, with lots of technical/technique information.
I'm presently saving my pennies for Modernist Bread, coming out in May. LINK

I'm open to tall types of cooking. Don't have a smoker as of now, but plan on getting one in the next year.

I'd say 75% of the stuff I cook I do in my Dutch oven

I have John Folse's encyclopedia of Cajun Cooking that I really like and pull a lot of stuff from.

If you can find River Road Recipes that's a winner.

For smoking a lot of people love Franklin BBQ: A Meat Smoking Manifesto

2017 The Gourmand Awards National Winner: BEST INDIAN CUISINE 

My Two Souths takes you on a culinary journey with Chef Asha Gomez, from her small village in the Kerala region of southern India to her celebrated restaurants in Atlanta, and on into your kitchen. Her singular recipes are rooted in her love of Deep-South cooking, as well as the Southern Indian flavors of her childhood home. These "Two Souths" that are close to her heart are thousands of miles apart, yet share similarities in traditions, seasonings, and most importantly, an abiding appreciation of food as both celebration and comfort. Here she shares more than 125 recipes, including: Black Cardamom Smothered Pork Chop, Vivid Tomato and Cheese Pie, Kerala Fried Chicken and Waffles, Three Spice Carrot Cake

To open up more shelf space last week I threw away 50 paperbacks and I gave 40 hardcover cookbooks to Goodwill. I haven't used a cookbook since I discovered this thing called the internet.

My favorite sites are Alton Brown's and this place:

I'm gonna bump this thread to get some recommendations.

I'd love to know a good Louisiana cookbook. I'm cool with either Cajun or Creole.


I just got a couple new ones.


This book is absolutely incredible. I'm great on a grill, but in the actual kitchen, have plenty to learn. This breaks things down with tons of pictures. Perfect for any level of experience.




I also got this in the mail today. I haven't gone through it, but I absolutely love Cook's illustrated.

Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen

Cajun and Creole Cooking-this is very old, but I've enjoyed some of the recipes. I love the cayenne toast.
