Publishers Text

If you're hankerin' for some good old-fashioned cowboy eatin', here's the answer to your cravings. The Cowboy's Cookbook is not for the lily-livered, "I'll just have a salad, with the tiniest bit of dressing on the side, please" kind of person. It's chock full of recipes such as Shepherd's Pie (two pounds of ground beef for 4 to 6 servings), Cookhouse Meatloaf (12 ounces lean ground beef and 12 ounces lean ground veal for 4 to 6 servings), and the ever-so-charming Son-of-a-Bitch Stew (traditionally made with freshly slaughtered cow's innards, although this modern version has been revised to use simply boneless beef chuck and ox or lamb kidneys). Many of the recipes are perfectly suited for today's campers. Imagine sitting around the breakfast campfire with your family and friends sharing a big batch of Eggs 'n' Hash, Blueberry Saddle Blankets (translate that into blueberry pancakes), or Irish "Camp Potatoes." In addition to main courses and breakfast dishes, there are plenty of recipes for desserts (Wild Berry Cobbler, Plum Crisp, and Oatmeal Pie to name a few) and breads (Sourdough Pinch-Offs, Chunky Skillet Cornbread, and Bacon 'n' Cheese Beer Loaf). Full-color photographs are peppered throughout this nostalgic cookbook, along with pictures of cowboy paraphernalia and black and white photos from long ago trails. So, whadda ya say, Cookie, time to head 'em up and move 'em out? --Colleen Preston
