This cookbook was full of Tex-Mex Style of recipes collected by a freelance food writer and chronicler that has a blog on the Swedish magazine that writes about American food. Tex-Mex food is inspired from both Mexican and by cowboy culture so it has a lot of influence from many cultures but this book has seemed to travel out of the Tex-Mex area with some of the recipes. Food is always evolving so maybe it is with a Texas Twist.

The recipes are very simple with easy to obtain ingredients, in most places, and full of suggestions for substitutions in areas were you might not be able to locate an ingredient. I am not sure how of of the substitutions would work as advised but even other places of the world these ingredients are becoming more common.

Tortilla recipes were presented first which was a great idea since they are used in many of the dishes in the cookbook. There is always debate over the best chili recipes and chili recipe in the cookbook is very different from most recipes since it was without tomatoes and beans. It looks like it will be very spicy so beware. The pictures were well presented and all the the recipes looked very balanced and tasty. If you are looking for a good Tex Mex cookbook I really suggest you take a look at this.
