The All-American Cowboy Cookbook: Home Cooking on the Range Authros: Ken Beck & Jim Clark Publisher: Thomas Nelson, Inc. 1995
From our Purveyor of Books: The popularity of this cookbook's format and recipes led to its companion by Cheryl Rogers-Barnett, Ken Beck & Jim Clark title {>} All American Cowboy It begins with Baxter Black's Cowboy's Grace and great introduction and chapters like Sing for Your Supper (recipes from cowboy singers) Slim Pickens (Vegetarian Meals) and Spaghetti Western Dinner. Clever but also really great food, photos, famous movie quotes, western history trivia, and more. Whether you are a chef or just enjoy reading cookbooks you'll like this one.
Who can resist Eight Seconds Layered Nacho Dip, a recipe of rodeo champion Jim Shoulders or Foy Willing of Riders of the Purple Sage Go West Guacamole. Or my personal favorite, Doc Holliday's Spinach and Artichoke Dip from stuntwoman Donna Hall. (She promises you'll "fall for it.")

Whether they are riding the range under a blazing sun or a cool Montana moon, or working on a Hollywood stage, cowboys and cowgirls can work up a hearty appetite. The All-American Cowboy Cookbook is filled to the brim with favorite recipes from the country's most famous western stars-from the Silver Screen and television to rodeo heroes and cooks on real working ranches, as well as recipes from some of the best cowboy balladeers ever to lasso a microphone.
