Review
"Nuevo Tex Mex" is definitely onto something: Great gutsy cooking that combines the irascible charm of the 'old' Tex-Mex with the genius of regional Mexican kitchens. Rick Bayless, author of "Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen"
Food historians ten or twenty years hence might well call it a benchmark, a book that shows, through 98 engaging recipes, and a lively, enlightening text, where a major element of Texas cooking has been and where it might well be headed. "Texas Monthly"

Forget neuveaux cuisine, now there's Nuevo Tex-Mex, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nuevo Tex Mex (Paperback)
Today there are many cookbooks on Mexican cuisine. There are many on the style blending the Mexican foods with that of nearby Texas commonly known as Tex-Mex. With all of the people eating nachos, tacos and enchiladas, and all the recipes for salsas, moles and tortillas fillings there was bound to be a time that people needed a change. That change has come and has been put together by David Garrido, a chef at Jeffery's in Austin, Texas; and Robb Walsh winner of a James Beard journalism award in their new cookbook Nuevo Tex-Mex - festive new recipes from just north of the border. The cookbook contains many beautiful photographs from Manny Rodriguez food photographer originally from Havana. Together, they have all created a nice compilation of new foods that include: Mango-Key Lime Margaritas; Papaya-Habanero Salsa; Mushroom Salsa; Spinach & Mushroom Chilaquiles; Steak, Endive and Blue Cheese Tacos; Shark-BLT Tacos; Crab & Spinach Nachos; Habanero Mayo; Jalapeno Corn slaw; Wild Mushroom Mole Enchiladas; Duck Enfrijoladas Blancos; Pork Chops in Apple Butter Mole; Chipotle Swordfish Fajitas; Coca Cola Habanero Potatoes; and Pumpkin Flan. Many of the recipes are very simple to make, but there are may ingredients that are not readily available at the local market, and would need to be found at a specialty food store. There are a few additions to the recipes allowing the reader to try alternatives, and a list of terminology in the back of the book referred to by many recipes. Nuevo Tex-Mex, published by Chronicle Books, has a lot for the adventurous eater, but the standard basic food person or Tex-Mex eater would not want this one. It is truly for the serious eater.

Great recipes that pump new life into taste buds, 20 July 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nuevo Tex Mex (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The recipes are wonderful, easy to follow and lead to fantastic meals. Nuevo Tex-Mex cooking? I don't know much about the title, I just know I savored the food. The Swordfish Fajitas were wonderful. I have always loved Mexican food and this book offers me new, cool ways to enjoy my old favs. If you love offering your family and friends something that will perk up their taste buds (in some cases way more than a mere perk) and have them asking, "what's in this, its great", get this cookbook.

deep in the heart of Tex-Mex, 31 Dec 1999
By R. C Jolly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nuevo Tex Mex (Paperback)
Being from San Antonio - I was a little sceptical when I checked this out from the library. I don't know about 'Nuevo' as a trend, but the book is a delight and I hadn't had it home for more than an hour or so before I was on Amazon ordering a copy. It is fun to read and fun to cook from and the whole layout of the book is a delight with fine color photographs.
