Summary: Ranch Wife's Dream Cookbook
Review: I am a ranch wife and grew up on a ranch. This book is wonderful! The recipes are definately down to earth! Around my house it has to be meat and potatoes and this cookbook has wonderful new ideas! I really enjoyed the pictures and the stories. A lot of them really hit home. It was nice to hear that not all the bad ranch stories generated from our ranch!

Summary: Great for sons, but also busy moms
Review: I bought this cookbook for my 20-year old son, but soon realized I would have to have one also. The first thing that drew me to this book were the wonderful trail photos. Spending a little more time with the book, I found the accompanying stories revealing themselves to be an added bonus. Then the actual cookbook part: The recipes call for basic staples affordable by the beginning household and easily identifiable by novice cooks, but produce full-flavored dishes. The directions are easy to understand and not too numerous, resulting in no frustration for the beginner and time-saving for all. This cookbook is not for those who want fancy-schmancy stuff, but a must for those who want good hearty food.
