From the Panhandle Plains to the Lower Laguna Madre, Grazing
Across Texas is a celebration of the delightfully diverse
hunting, fishing, and dining culture in the Lone Star State.
- Historical commentary on a
notable selection of ranchers, outfitters, sportsmen, and
accomplished game and fish chefs
- More than 150 of their
favorite recipes featuring freshwater and saltwater fish, upland
birds and waterfowl, big game animals, and accompaniments
- Tosh Brown’s award-winning
photography—over 500 color images of Texas scenery, sportsmen,
and the birds, fish, and animals that they pursue
The state of Texas spans over
260,000 square miles of remarkably varied geography. For the hunter,
angler, and outdoor enthusiast, the Lone Star State offers terrain
for every imaginable interest: marshes and bayous, pastures and
prairies, lakes and streams, mountains and forests.
In Grazing Across Texas,
acclaimed photographer/writer Tosh Brown gives us a broad and
diverse view of the hunting, fishing, and dining cultures in Texas.
For two years, Brown traveled the state conducting interviews,
collecting recipes, and photographing an eclectic selection of
ranches, lodges, private sporting clubs, restaurants, and freelance
hunting and fishing guides.
From the accomplished chef to the casual cook, Grazing Across
Texas offers recipes for any level of culinary expertise. If you
know your way around a kitchen, this book offers the opportunity to
prepare favorite dishes from some of the finest game and fish chefs
in the state: Jeffrey Blank, Gerard Thompson, Blas Gonzales, Tom
Perini, Melissa Guerra, and others. If down-home camp cooking is
more your style, there are plenty of recipes that you can prepare
with basic tools and ingredients. |

The marquee species of Texas are well
represented, like whitetails, dove, quail, ducks, redfish, and bass.
If you’re looking to prepare something a bit more exotic, you’ll
also find recipes for more offbeat species, such as squirrel,
alligator, rattlesnake, wild boar, and sandhill crane.
Hunting, fishing, and cooking are convergent traditions in Texas.
Whether it’s a beach house, a hunting lease, or a cabin on the lake,
Texans have an ingrained enthusiasm for gathering and celebrating
their extraordinary game and fish resources. So fire up the grill,
grease your skillet, and call your friends and family—you’re about
to embark on an exciting and unprecedented sporting and dining tour
of Texas.
