The Mansion on Turtle Creek Cookbook: Haute Cuisine, Texas Style

It’s a celebration of what the Dallas Restaurant means to local cuisine and, also, how regional flavors and ingredients have shaped the restaurant’s haute Texas cuisine.
“This book is all about a celebration of the Mansion’s culinary history,” said Executive Chef Bruno Davaillon. “The Mansion Restaurant has always been a trend setter – first with a new Southwest cuisine and now with our haute Texas cuisine – and this book is a beautiful reflection of our evolution and influence. I’m honored to be a part of the Mansion Restaurant’s legacy and future.”

The Mansion on Turtle Creek Cookbook offers visitors and home cooks signature dishes from the restaurant, from accessible favorites such as tortilla soup and lobster tacos to refined showstoppers like Chorizo-Crusted Halibut with white bean puree and stuffed piquillo peppers and Braised Pork Cheeks with creamy Homestead Gristmill grits.

The book’s haute Texas cuisine is reflected in nine chapters, which include:

Appetizers
Soups & Salads
Fish & Shellfish
Game & Fowl
Meat
Sauces & Sides
Brunch
Bar Food & Cocktails
Desserts

Readers will find more than 90 mouth-watering recipes, many beautifully captured with stunning images shot exclusively for the book, along with both interior and exterior photographs taken on and around the Mansion Restaurant’s elegant and inviting grounds.

Additionally, peppered throughout the book are texts and sidebars that speak to the Mansion Restaurant’s commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients and products available. These vendor spotlights highlight local purveyors and artisans that are essential to the Mansion – such as Paula Lambert and her fine cheeses, Becker Vineyards in the Hill Country and Broken Arrow Ranch for game, just to name a few.
