"Cookbook Cafe is celebrating Texas cookbooks through the month of October with events, dinner specials, and more. The kick-off party honors the late Chronicle food editor Virginia B. Wood and her personal cookbook collection. The events include cooking demonstrations with chefs like Jesse Griffiths, panels featuring Texas wine, beer, and booze makers, and Saturday night prix fixe dinner specials with steak, mussels, and cookies." - Nadia Chaudhury
