Spirit of the West: Cooking from Ranch House and Range: member book reviews
southerncooker from Boomer, NC
This book is filled with over 100 recipes that are from the first western ranchers who originated from Mexico, as early as the 16th century and continuing through those still working at dude ranches today. It tells the story of the American Frontier thorough the food they ate. Also included are stories about and from descendants of the first ranchers and those that work on today's ranches. The book is sprinkled with beautiful color photos of the foods, artfully displayed for the viewers enjoyment.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in history served along side their recipes, as well as those intrigued with the old west, cowboys, outdoor cooking, cast iron cooking and or the frontier. This is a very interesting read filled with tasty sounding recipes, many of which have a Mexican influence.
