Author Description

The Cowboy Cookbook contains more than 120 authentic lip-smacking, tasty, stick-to-your-ribs recipes used by cooks to feed cowhands herding cattle North along the Chisholm, Goodnight-Loving, Sidalia, Western and Shawnee Trails in the 1870-90 era. All recipes can be prepared without eggs. Each recipe has been carefully measured and tested for preparation on a kitchen stove or over an open-fire barbecue. Not just another chili book (although it contains the original recipe in use when Texas became a Republic). Contents include: biscuits, dumplings, corncakes, meat, potatoes, rice, tomatoes, and desserts, including the almost lost recipe for Vinegar Pie. To all cooks and Americana history buffs-come 'n git it!
