Matt Martinez Mextex: Traditional Tex-mex Taste
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Since 1952, Matt's El Rancho has provided the Austin area with authentic Mexican food in a great family atmosphere. The recipes from the restaurant and those included in this cookbook have been handed down from generation to generation through Matt's family, who settled in this region long before any Anglo settlers moved in.
Matt is the first chef to reintroduce unique "prairie/range" style cooking since cowboys used a similar technique. His focus is on indigenous, high flavor, low fat foods with Mexican Texan roots. Matt has personally developed hundreds of recipes, spice combinations and operating procedures that ensure a unique, enjoyable experience time after time.
Using traditional methods and native ingredients, Matt Martinez, Jr. brings authentic Tex-Mex taste to your home kitchen. Some of the recipes included are Bob Armstrong Dip, Chiles Relleños, Casa Martinez Guacamole, Chili de Joya "Home Style" Hot Sauce, Avocado Soup, Carne Asada, and Shrimp Martinez. Is your mouth watering yet?
