In the spirit of full disclosure I should mention that I've bought, used and reviewed other cookbooks by this author. I like his voice which is humorous and self-deprecating and I like his recipes of which he always provides a generous number.I cook for a family and it's not always easy to find recipes that are healthy and delicious. The latter is important. My son is a chef at one of Houston's great restaurants, so standards at home are high.The author delivers on both counts and the book itself is a timely reminder of what can be done in a blender. Summer in all its hideous heat is upon us in Houston, Texas. This is not the season for elaborate meals and hot stoves. I want snacks and meals that can be made with a minimum of fuss and clean-up. For the next three months, I'll be spending as little time in the kitchen as possible, despite the fact that in other seasons, it's my playground.I don't really have to add that smoothies are good year round. I know that. It's just that at this moment as the temperature climbs and hungry faces are swiveling my way, the blender looks mighty good to me. Thanks, Texas Jack, for this home cook, you nailed it.
