Publishers Text

In this comprehensive, outrageous, sparkly, decadent cookbook and inspirational how-to manual for your Urban Cowgirl lifestyle, professional chef, TV personality, and Texas mom Sarah Penrod brings her special brand of glamour to your life, welcoming you into her tribe with open arms, warm advice, and a healthy heaping of spit-fire attitude. Filled with 150 recipes, including modern twists on favorite traditional recipes and more than a few new dishes, The Urban Cowgirl will take the modern city girl with cowgirl roots on a journey to explore her heritage and put her own brand on the life she wants to have.

Southern girls aren’t just magnolias. In the modern south, particularly in Texas, they’re can-do cowgirls with deep roots and big dreams—and increasingly with big city, modern lifestyles. The Urban Cowgirl is a southern girl who has a designer coffee table littered with Saveur and Bon Appetit magazines, but the recipes she holds dearest are handwritten legacies from a grandmother she may have never met. She is a walking contradiction: A tomboy in a designer dress, a cowgirl who rides a Vespa. She is fiercely loyal to her heritage, and she will do whatever it takes to preserve it. But it’s not enough for her to just do it like grandma did. She is unique. She has to make it her own. She takes classic Southern and Texas foods and ingredients and traditions and gives them a new twist with her personal brand of sparkle and shine. She is a member of a tribe of cowgirls who, like her, cherish tradition, and embrace the cowgirl-up philosophy.

Seventh-generation Texan and Urban Cowgirl Sarah Penrod is the perfect companion and guide for the can-do city girl with cowgirl dreams. In this inspirational book, she shares her vision for a big city life that’s designed around more than the hustle and bustle of “likes” and “favorites” or nailing down Friday night’s plans and listing out Saturday’s errands. She welcomes you into a celebration of Texas and the South and offers you a family album’s worth of traditions from Christmas dinner to a Proper Fish Fry, to Girls’ Night In. She helps you embrace your instinct to go back to a traditional, from-scratch life, bringing your country heart and deeply-held values into the middle of the twenty-first century city.
