Sometimes cookbooks can be as much fun to simply browse through as they are inspiringly instructive to prepare meals from. Such is the case for Pamela Sinclair's compendium of Cowboy State recipes and Paulette Phlipot's full-page, full-color photographs.

This review is from: A Taste of Wyoming: Favorite Recipes from the Cowboy State (Hardcover)

Sometimes cookbooks can be as much fun to simply browse through as they are inspiringly instructive to prepare meals from. Such is the case for Pamela Sinclair's compendium of Cowboy State recipes and Paulette Phlipot's full page, full color photographs that comprise "A Taste Of Wyoming". Of special note is the 'Guidelines for Recipes' which is for the benefit of the novice high altitude kitchen cook and baker. The recipes themselves are organized into sections devoted to Breakfast & Brunch; Appetizers & Snacks; Salads & Sides; Soups & Stews; Main Courses; Desserts & Sweet Treats. The photography is as spectacular as the dishes are enticing. Contributed by some of the best chefs from some of the finest dining establishments Wyoming has to offer, the recipes range from Blue Ribbon Caramel Cinnamon Rolls; Pancetta-Wrapped Chicken Livers; Winter Root Vegetable Hash; and Blue Corn Tortilla Soup; to Bison Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Sauce; Roast Duck Breast with Apple and Sun-Dried Cranberry Chutney; Sea Scallops with Frizzled Spinach, Carrots, and Citrus Beurre Blanc; and Sour Cream Cherry Pie. "A Taste Of Wyoming" is a truly elegant, gourmet quality, kitchen cook friendly, culinary collection that would grace any personal, professional, or community library cookbook collection.

Wyoming may be the "Cowboy State", but this is not stereotypical cowboy fare. "A Taste of Wyoming" sparkles with eye-appealing sophistication. Pam Sinclair has compiled a real Wyoming treasure with a compilation of Wyoming history and regional cuisine. The book showcases Pam's meticulous research and dedication. Every recipe is a "must try". Paulette phlipot's photography is beautifully done and adds to the overall impact of this delightful cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make room for this one!, April 13, 2008

Make room for this one! I have so many cookbooks I now discipline myself to sell or donate one or more for each new addition. A Taste of Wyoming is worth giving up at least ten. Pamela Sinclair honors culinary art and her state with a feast for body, mind, and spirit. With the talent of a top chef, she combines prized recipes with seasonings of fascinating people and places, then garnishes with historical photos and local lore. The presentation is made perfect by the photography of Paulette Phlipot. Be it a mountain meadow or a crusty scone, the images are joyous. These two women have created a work of excellence which is as practical and easy to use as it is fun to read. The cook who uses this book will please herself and others. Hurrah for Sinclair and Phlipot! Hurrah for wonderful Wyoming and wonderful food!
