5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook as well as stories about cowboy life!, February 6, 2000

By A Customer

The book has some wonderful recipes for outdoor grub. Some are old and some don't use traditional units of measure. They are all great dishes, though. Stella also intersperses stories about camp cooks she has known, how they did things, what was important to them, etc. These stories are a great documentation of the western cowboy life. The section on sourdough is especially good.

Great cookbook for those that still yearn for the days of the lonesome prairie. And the beans and bacon that we can smell simmering. I own quite a few of these old west, chuck wagon style cookbooks, and to be honest I have never found any of them to be disappointing. They all seem to have different recipes, and carry their own style as to trivia and western lore. This chuck wagon cookin' is no different, and a fine choice. Recommended...
