New Texas Cuisine by Stephan Pyles
The first of Chef Pyles' cookbooks, this collection of eclectic, sophisticated Texas recipes prove there's much more to Lone Star cooking than Tex-Mex and barbecue. Creative dishes blend elements of Southern homestyle cooking, innovative Southwestern cuisine, Mexican, and Tex-Mex fare. Recipes include Chilled Yellow Pepper Soup with Scallop Ceviche Verde, Barbecued Duck Tacos with Black Bean-Orange Sauce, and Pecan Souffle with Bourbon Butter.

Southwestern Vegetarian by Stephan Pyles
An innovative, flavorful exploration of the non-meat possibilities of Southwest cuisine. Chef Pyles melds Southwestern, Mexican, and European culinary approaches for truly outstanding results. Recipes include Black Bean and Queso Fresco Quesadillas, Tortilla and Three-Onion Casserole with Tomato Ginger Jam, and Polenta Gratin with Wild Mushrooms and Three Cheeses. Organized by categories, the book features chapters on gratins, casseroles, stuffed vegetables, tortas, sandwiches, and pizza.

Tamales by Stephan Pyles, Mark Miller, and John Sedlar
An entire cookbook about the tamale. Features include a history of the tamale and instructions for stuffing, wrapping, and cooking. But the main attraction is the variety of tamale recipes – along with a dozen just for the dough. The book includes fillings that range from savory vegetarian to meat and seafood, to sweet and fruit-filled desserts. Sample recipes: Carmelized Onion Tamales with Tomato-Basil Salad, and Sweet Pumpkin Tamales with Nutmeg Crème Anglaise.
