5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, tasty, irresistable, January 12, 2009

By	Bee (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews

My sister received this book for Christmas. *I* can't put it down! It contains simple recipes, using simple, common ingredients, for everything from drinks to entrees to desserts. It looked to me like most recipes in there could also be made out in the field, bunkhouse kitchen, or cabin, using skillets or dutch ovens.

And the book is filled with photos, quotes, and vintage recipes from cowgirls. I think that's what makes it really irresistable to me...as a western chick who camps and rides, this book resonates with me. Food, human and animal companionship, good sense, and a love of the outdoors is the connection this book provides....those corseted, smiling ladies could walk right up next to me as I'm checking to see if the cornbread is done, stretching out my tired back, and slapping hay off my shirt, and it would be like the hundred years separating us had never passed at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made me hungry, July 20, 2008

By	Thomas Rentschler (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good books are good because they have a rhythm, a flow, that connects parts. That is no easy chore in a recipe book, but Ms. Stanford's side bars and personal comments create that flow. I cannot cook, but I have read the book with pleasure, and it made me hungry. I am going ask my grandchildren to fix me stuff. The photos and Western connection certainly added to pleasure of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cowgirl Perfection!, May 24, 2008

By	Michael T. Preedin (Sisters, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Cowgirl's Cookbook: Recipes for Your Home on the Range - It's the cutest little cowgirl book ever.

This book has the most authentic recipes a cowgirl (or cowboy, in my case) could ever want. The photos inside are fantastic as well.

It's only ten bucks or so, so buy one for you and one for your mom. You won't be sorry, I promise.
