Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mercede's enchiladas

    • hbakke on November 21, 2023

      I doubt this recipe was tested. The chile sauce was already too thick (16 rehydrated chiles with only 2.5 cups of water) before adding the flour and tasted very bitter. After a lot of modifications, the sauce was slightly more palatable but not great. Once assembled, it has a baking time of 40 minutes (doesn't specify if it should be covered with foil). I took it out at 25 minutes and it was already burning. My final gripe is that the photo shows tortillas that are at least 9 inch diameter but the book specifies 6 inch, which makes a difference in terms of how much filling is required. Not a repeat at all for me.

  • Tomato salad with corn and Kalamata olives

    • hbakke on November 21, 2023

      Nice summery salad. This is shown served on a platter with large slices of tomato, but I cut everything smaller and tossed in a bowl.

  • Chewy chocolate chip cookies

      We love these! I was nervous about the olive oil. I could taste it in the raw batter, but not in the baked cookie.

Publishers Text

The first cookbook from Magnolia Publications: recipes from a year of harvests, celebrations, and family dinners on a historic California cattle ranch by Elizabeth Poett, host of Ranch to Table on Magnolia Network.

Elizabeth Poett was raised on Rancho San Julian, a 14,000-acre ranch on Santa Barbara’s Central Coast that her family has been working since 1837. Her years are structured around the events of the ranch, celebrations big and small, harvests, and work days that bring her family and community together—and always end with large meals, created with seasonal ingredients and lots of love, for everyone to share. Elizabeth feeds her family from their land not just with seasonal and local meals—with offerings from California’s Central Coast, including traditional BBQ tri-tip and fresh pico de gallo in the spring to dry-farmed heirloom tomatoes in the summer, and fish from the nearby Pacific Ocean year-round—but by canning and pickling the vegetables from the ranch’s enormous garden, drying herbs for spice blends, and foraging for wild mushrooms and greens.

The Ranch Table celebrates Rancho San Julian in both its past, including beautiful archival images of Elizabeth’s family’s history on the land and recipes adapted from her ancestors’ notebooks, and present, organizing the book around the ranch’s most important work days, family traditions big and small, and annual celebrations. Each chapter will begin with a description of an event or a special day—the work of a branding, the joys of the annual family reunion, the fun of fall’s cider press and back-to-school dinner, the quiet beauty of a winter evening spent at the kitchen table—and will provide recipes for the dishes that Elizabeth makes for those occasions,
