What a wonderful collection of delicious recipes. Chef Walker has shared his magical culinary secrets and has delivered them in a beautifully illustrated and well written book. "In Your Kitchen" tells us how to prepare some of Brennan's famous treats such as: Brandy Milk Punch, Turtle Soup and Bananas Foster. Carl Walker also shares his life experiences with his readers. After reading through the book, I feel that I know Chef Walker and his family personally. NOTE: The Texas Cornbread Pudding will become a must for your family gatherings.

This is by far the best cookbook I have ever used. The recipes are well written, easy to understand, and they actually work in my kitchen. The chef's tips are great for varying a recipe to work with the ingredients I have on hand. I have used it to cook for a dinner party (my friends were amazed), and I have used it to cook for my family during the week. It has made this home cook truly feel like a chef! The pictures and added history make it a great read, too! You have to have this cookbook!

Having had the pleasure of eating at Brennans of Houston many times over the past decade I have to say the
atmosphere at the restaurant is wonderful, however the food is what makes the experience outstanding. Carl Walker
and his knowledgeable staff have combined their talents to bring an easy to use guide into to your kitchen. It's rare
to find a cook book from an award winning chef that doesn't intimidate the casual, cooking enthusiast - this isn't a
cook book for the bookcase, it's for the kitchen. I recommend the book and the Cajun Enchiladas with Roasted
Tomatillos Salsa, on page 26.
