Join Us on October 9th at 7pm for the NFWHS Meeting.

Our Special Guest is Celestina Blok.

Fort Worth’s legacy as the largest livestock-trading center in the Southwest led to its nickname of “Cowtown” in the late 1800s, a moniker that’s stuck ever since. With a food scene largely driven by beef, Fort Worth’s four basic food groups could be considered steaks, burgers, barbecue, and Tex-Mex. But the food-loving locals know Cowtown cuisine spans well beyond brisket, tacos, and rib eye. In her first cookbook Cowtown Comfort, author and Fort Worth native Celestina Blok aims to showcase her adoration for the chefs, pitmasters, bakers, and makers whose beloved creations—from top shelf margaritas to Texas sheet cake—define her hometown. Across 60 Fort Worth–based recipes, readers will find home versions of some of Fort Worth’s most beloved dishes—many served with a heaping side of history.
