Great Firehouse Cooks of Texas by Ron and Caryl McAdoo ($18.95, Republic of Texas Press) Co-author Ron McAdoo is a former Dallas firehouse cook himself, so this book is off to a good start. The couple interviewed some 40 firemen from all over Texas, men who have honed their talent cooking for hearty, albeit discriminating, appetites. Recipes range from chicken and dumplings to Bruno’s spaghetti and meatballs to jalapeno meatloaf to Captain’s coconut pie. |
