Praise
"I first experienced Dean Fearing's modern Texas-inspired cuisine about 25 years ago. The thought of it still makes me want to put on a pair of cowboy boots and kick up my heels at the astonishing flavors and beautiful presentations Dean creates by combining his classically trained techniques with local ingredients and ethnic traditions. I can't wait to try some of the recipes from The Texas Food Bible, including Gulf Coast Crab Benedict with Cilantro Hollandaise, Pork Tenderloin with Watermelon-Jalapeño Glaze, East Texas Seafood Jambalaya, Mexican Rice Pudding, and Parker County Fried Peach Pies. Dean is not only an excellent chef but he's also a kind person who is full of contagious enthusiasm. His big-as-Texas talent and personality shine from every page." --Wolfgang Puck
