Reviews

"This is the kind of stuff that I cook at home when no one is looking," says Jon Bonnell in his newest cookbook, Jon Bonnell''s Texas Favorites ( Gibbs Smith, $30), set to hit bookstores mid-March. The Fort Worth chef celebrated the 10th anniversary of his namesake restaurant in October and has always happily provided recipes and tips to anyone who asks. While his first book, Fine Texas Cuisine, focused on the fine dining fare that has made Bonnell''s one of Zagat''s highest-rated restaurants, the former science teacher provides less complex recipes for the home cook in his second book. We love the entire chapter dedicated to tailgating Texas -style (and already are planning to use it for Texas Rangers games).
