Cowgirl Chef features more than 100 of Ellise Pierce's inspired recipes, along with the story of a homesick Texan's adventures in Paris. Cowgirl Tacos, her Tex-Mex catering company in Paris, appealed to other Americans who missed the flavors of home. But she did more than start a company - she created a unique cuisine that weds the spicy chile peppers and tortillas of Texas with the delicate French traditions of quiche, tart, and soufflé.
