Paula Forbes is a food and restaurant writer based in Austin, Texas. Forbes was the founding editor of Eater Austin and is a regular contributor to GQ and Food52.
“What rounds it out is Forbes’s experience in restaurant reporting
and cookbook criticism. She acknowledges differences in opinion
while stating her own well-founded beliefs, explores long-held
misconceptions, dedicates pages to brief histories of regional
foodstuffs, and offers delightful asides from prominent
Austin-based chefs. Through it all, she convinces the reader that
eating (like she does) in Austin is a whole heckuva lot of
fun.”
*Eater*
“Easily the most colorful book of the season (yes, some pages are
printed in millennial pink and we’re not sorry about it) longtime
cookbook reviewer Paula Forbes’s first book is an enthusiastic love
letter to her adopted hometown…the book can easily double as a
restaurant guide.”
*Food & Wine*
“Austin has more than tacos and winning brisket. Forbes's extensive
Texas restaurant experience comes through here as she brings in
recipes from quintessential local haunts—including plenty of
barbecue and Tex Mex staples.”
*Tasting Table*
The go-to guide to Austin eating.
*Publishers Weekly*
“Paula Forbes has created an amazing book that works for home
cooks, food geeks, and culinary converts that, like me, believe
that Austin’s food scene is singularly phenomenal and delicious.
Finally documented in all its glory, from Tex to Tex-Mex to BBQ and
more, Austin’s unique food scene has finally been captured for
anyone to enjoy, no matter how far away they are from Hill
Country.”
*TV host and bestselling author*
“Paula Forbes provides everything you’ll need to replicate the best
barbecue recipes from the best barbecue joints in Austin (aka the
best barbecue destination on earth). You’ll still yearn to try them
firsthand in the city she so lovingly describes. And that's just
the first chapter.”
*author, The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey Through Texas
Barbecue*
“If you find yourself missing Austin, reading and cooking from The
Austin Cookbook is the next best thing to hopping on a plane. From
Bob Armstrong Dip to Sweet Potato Nachos, and Huevos Rancheros to
Everything Bagel Kolaches, Paula Forbes shares beloved Austin
dishes with a friendly voice and expert hand. I want to cook
everything! And a tip of the hat also to Robert Strickland’s lively
photos, which beautifully capture the food and town’s vibe so
well.”
