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.

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!

This ia a beautiful book. The photographs alone are worth the purchase. Pam's recipes and the comments included from other Wyoming writers make A TASTE OF WYOMING a keeper. It is so lovely, I jot the recipes down before using them, so I don't have to take the book into my often messy and always busy kitchen.

There are a tremendous selection of different and delicious recipes from appitizers to dessert and everything in between the two. The photographs are fantistic and make you want to give each of the recipes a try. This is a cookbook not to be missed.

As a cook who regularly tries variation of recipes and love to try new recipes, this cookbook is a must have in the kitchen. The book gives a wide variety of meals for everyone. It is so very nice to be able to prepare a meal from a top rated Chef. The Venison Stew is truely incredible as well as Scalloped Sweet Potatoes. Every recipe I've tried has been a big hit with my family. I can't wait for the next cookbook from Ms. Sinclair.

Bought two, one as a gift, and was worth the money. Great recipies, beautiful book, and very interesting!

Several years ago, my husband was surfing places we would like to visit and he found "The Rusty Parrot." It sounded like something out of "On Golden Pond" and I was hesitant, so we never went. Now we have this beautiful pictoral display of interesting places in Wyoming with a focus on local cuisine..and wouldn't you know...."The Rusty Parrot" and it's mouth-watering specialties is listed as one of Wyoming's best. What a wonderful way to experience the beauty and soul of Wyoming, through its recipes from someone who clearly loves her state. Even if I didn't cook, I will cherish this book as a vacation to Wyoming until I can actually get there.
