I bought his "Matt Makes a Run for the Border", cookbook and loved it so much, I now own all three of his books. They are the first ones in years I have owned that did not make me run to the store and hunt up items that were not stocked in my house. I have not made a single dish that was not delicious and appreciated by my family. The dishes are so easy and fast to prepare and when shared with friends and neighbors, were rave reviews. I wish I had known about these books years ago. We ate at his fathers restaurant in Austin, Tx., and really enjoyed the food. And now we can have the same simple, wonderful food all the time.
I use to live near Matt's resturants, so I got to eat there whenever I liked. Now I live an 1 1/2 hours away, I was so thrilled to find Matt had books out. I have 3 cookbooks now. I enjoy making the recipes, and the stories. This book is great also. The smoked salsa is my favorite. I make a huge batch, freeze it in 2-4 cups freezer bags. I use it to marinate meats, or cook with it. Last nite I used it w/ chicken broth and chicken. I boiled it. My family & I loved it, very favlorful! I do keep some out and eat with chips. The Texas Sprinkle & Tex-mex seasoning is great to have around. I love the brisket recipe, we cook a brisket, then use the meat for so many different meals. If the recipe calls for pork chops, I may use a pork roast, or a whole chicken or venison. They turn out good. My family & have have enjoyed all the recipes I have made so far,some more than once. The stories Matt shares are nice. I like reading/hearing about family, or how the recipe came to be, or if it's a family recipe. This is a good cookbook!Read full review
