Cowboy cookbook

We lost our cookbook on our trip. Does this book have Audy Murphy recipe in it.

Great cookbook

We use this all of the time. It has recipes that you can actually prepare and they really taste good.

Cowboy Cookin' FUN!!!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVED this book. I'm a big fan of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, and was delighted to see pictures of them in there, and actual recipes from the real people! Not only are the recipes real cowboy food, but the facts, trivia, and other neat stuff in the book is just as much part of the book as the recipes! The sections are labeled in a very western-y style: Appetizers are "The Frontier", Beverages are "Watering Hole", Soups and stews are "Stir-ups", and so on. There's a whole section on chili, one of my favorite foods! I was very excited to find "Gene Autry's Texas Chili", and several from Roy Rogers too. There's recipes from all the greatest cowboys in there; from TV stars to rodeo champions, to just ranches who still love the American cowboy and his great food. There's a recipe from the show Gunsmoke, called "Gun-smokin' Chili", which I thought was really neat! The desserts are great as well (just like everything else in the book!). From pies to cakes to cookies and ice cream, it's got it all! I really love cowboys, and I am a cowgirl myself. I have my own horse, and wear a cowboy hat, boots, a leather belt and a big belt buckle with a horse on it every day. This All American Cowboy Cookbook really hit the spot! I can't wait to show it to my friend, who is also a cowgirl.

Too much fun!!

I just love this cookbook! It has great recipes with directions that are easy to follow. Only trouble is I enjoy reading all the stories and comments so much that I forget I'm looking for something good to cook up! I'm ordering 2 more as gifts for my trail riding buddies!

The All-American Cowboy Cookbook

I purchased this cookbook for a friend who is a chef and a old T.V. show buff. He loved it. The receipes are fun and a few even caught his eye, but the book is worth the trivia even if you don't cook.

Great Book

I loved the stories behind the recipes as much as the recipes. I have tried quite a few of them and they are easy and hearty. I read the book from cover to cover as there are bits of nostalgia and trivia to delight any one who remembers the old westerns.It's functional, funny, and touching.
