How to Win a Cowboy's Heart: Favorite Western Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can just hear the theme music from "Bonanza" as I leaf through the recipes in these books. Hard-working cowpokes will adore these authentic recipes from the American West.
How to Win a Cowboy's Heart is beautifully illustrated with black-and-white drawings from Western kitchens. Images of cowboy boots, horses, and rib-eye steaks decorate the recipes. This book, written for "Calicos" includes a handy Shopping Guide, and is organized by time of day. The chapters include: Good Morning Dear: Starting Off Right, Hungry By Noon: Western Dinner and Lunchtime Treats, Evening Shadows: Quiet Suppers at Home, and Red Letter Days: Memories to Share.
The recipe for Scalloped Potatoes on page 91 is remarkably similar to my own recipe. Who knew this New England baker was really a cowboy cook? The recipe includes a list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the recipe. At the bottom of the page, there is a variation which suggests adding cheese to the recipe. The recipe is illustrated with a Pelham bit for a horses' bridle. Opposite the recipe is an article on how to impress the in-laws!
The recipes are varied and surprising. From Green Chili Grits to Hay and Straw to Ham Steaks and Red-Eye Gravy, you are sure to find an adventure for your taste buds in this entertaining book. The nutritional information was wisely left out of this book, with the liberal use of butter, cream, and red meats, check your cholesterol at the door!
