Recipes from Historic Texas

Recipes from Historic Texas by Linda & Steve Bauer ($24.95, Taylor Trade Publishing) will appeal to collectors of all things Texan. This cookbook/travel guide from local Houston-area writers Linda and Steve Bauer takes readers across the state, visiting historic inns and restaurants, and collecting recipes along the way. More than 60 of your day-trip favorites — e.g. The Brazos Bell in Burton, The Tremont House in Galveston, The Salt Lick in Driftwood — are included. Note: We’re not fond of the awkward recipe formatting that separates the ingredients from the cooking method.
