But most of all, she missed the foods she'd grown up with.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After a fruitless search for tastes of Texas in New York City, Fain took matters into her own hands. She headed into the kitchen to cook for her friends the Tex-Mex, the chili, and the country comfort dishes that reminded her of home. From cheese enchiladas drowning in chili gravy to chicken-fried steak served with cream gravy on the side, from warm bowls of chile con queso to big pots of fiery chili made \u003ci\u003ewithout\u003c\/i\u003e beans, Fain re-created the wonderful tastes of Texas she'd always enjoyed at potlucks, church suppers, and backyard barbecues back home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2006, Fain started the blog Homesick Texan to share Texan food with fellow expatriates, and the site immediately connected with readers worldwide, Texan and non-Texan alike. Now, in her long-awaited first cookbook, Fain brings the comfort of Texan home cooking to you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like Texas itself, the recipes in this book are varied and diverse, all filled with Fain's signature twists. There's Salpic n, a cool shredded beef salad found along the sunny border in El Paso; Soft Cheese Tacos, a creamy plate unique to Dallas; and Houston-Style Green Salsa, an avocado and tomatillo salsa that is smooth, refreshing, and bright. There are also nibbles, such as Chipotle Pimento Cheese and Tomatillo Jalapeno Jam; sweet endings, such as Coconut Tres Leches Cake and Mexican Chocolate Chewies; and fresh takes on Texan classics, such as Coffee-Chipotle Oven Brisket, Ancho Cream Corn, and Guajillo-Chile Fish Tacos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With more than 125 recipes, \u003ci\u003eThe Homesick Texan\u003c\/i\u003e offers a true taste of the Lone Star State.
