About Texas Cooking

Texas Cooking is part of a network of informative, reader-oriented websites operated by Mesquite Management Corp. based in Austin, Texas. Texas Cooking brings the exciting world of food and Texas living to people throughout the world. Interestingly, only 25 percent of our readers actually live in Texas. Many are expatriate Texans who today live elsewhere, but most all Texas Cooking readers share a lively interest in good food and how best to prepare it.

Whether it's the good recipes or the Texas mystique, over 300,000 people regularly visit Texas Cooking and Texana every month.

Interested in writing for us?
Texas Cooking / Texana accepts freelance submissions. All articles on our websites are submitted from freelance writers. We pay upon publication on our website. Article length is typically 1000 to 1500 words (exceptions are made depending upon subject matter), and include from one to four recipes, again, depending upon the subject matter. Payment varies from $75 to $150. If you would like to learn how to have your material considered for publication, send e-mail to the Editor's Desk to request additional guidelines, or pitch an idea. We almost always are in the market for articles on Tex-Mex cooking and desserts.

Interested persons are encouraged to browse the site for previously published articles in order to get a good feel for Texas Cooking. We have published from three to five articles each month since we began operating in Februrary, 1997, resulting in an archive of literally hundreds of articles, each of which is actively linked within the pages of www.texascooking.com. They can be accessed by searching our various sections (Food Features, Dessert Spotlight, Texas Seafood, Beverage & Bar, etc.). Additionally, it may be helpful to browse our cookbook (Grandma's Cookbook). You will find a great many "from scratch" recipes, and only a few that call for canned cream of mushroom soup or boxed cake mixes.
