Summary
Irresistible recipes from pantry ingredients by an authentic cowboy and TV veteran
Whether he’s beating Bobby Flay at chicken-fried steak on the Food Network， catering for a barbecue， bar mitzvah， or wedding， or cooking for cowboys in the middle of nowhere， Kent Rollins makes comfort food that satisfies。 This gifted cook， TV contestant， and storyteller takes us into his frontier world with simple food anyone can do。
A cowboy’s day starts early and ends late。 Kent offers labor-saving breakfasts like Egg Bowls with Smoked Cream Sauce。 For lunch or dinner， there’s 20-minute Green Pepper Frito Pie， hands-off， four-ingredient Sweet Heat Chopped Barbecue Sandwiches， or mild and smoky Roasted Bean-Stuffed Poblano Peppers。 He even parts with his prized recipe for Bread Pudding with Whisky Cream Sauce。 （The secret to its lightness？ Hamburger buns。） Kent gets creative with ingredients on everyone’s shelves， using lime soda to caramelize Sparkling Taters and balsamic vinegar to coax the sweetness out of Strawberry Pie。
With stunning photos of the American West and Kent’s lively tales and poetry， A Taste of Cowboy is a must-have for everyone who loves good， honest food and wants a glimpse of a vanishing way of life。

I've been following Cowboy Kent's YouTube channel for a while， especially since I started cooking with cast iron skillets， so I when I found out he'd published a cookbook， I thought I'd enjoy it。I learned a bit about stuff I didn't know， such as what a Chuck Wagon is and the history of the term， as well as the customs surrounding it。 The anecdotes and informative bits are interesting and written in a way that you can practically see Cowboy Kent standing in front of you speaking。 His written voic I've been following Cowboy Kent's YouTube channel for a while， especially since I started cooking with cast iron skillets， so I when I found out he'd published a cookbook， I thought I'd enjoy it。I learned a bit about stuff I didn't know， such as what a Chuck Wagon is and the history of the term， as well as the customs surrounding it。 The anecdotes and informative bits are interesting and written in a way that you can practically see Cowboy Kent standing in front of you speaking。 His written voice does a great job at reflecting the way he actually speaks in his videos， so I enjoyed that too。The recipes are simple but interesting， and quite varied for all that and though many are centered on using the cast-iron skillets， pans and dutch ovens he so loves， there's also a fair number or recipes that require an oven。 He also talks about seasoning and restoring cast-iron， which I also appreciated， though I'd already seen his videos about the same subject。The book itself is solid， professional， and good-looking。 It looks great next to my other thematic cookbooks。I just found out he's releasing another cookbook soon， so I might give that one a look as well。 。。。more

There are a lot of amazing looking recipes here。 And not too complicated， that's a plus。 Most of them seem to have readily available ingredients。 These recipes are developed for the inside kitchen， not cooking outside。 There are also tips and tricks， home remedies， and stories from different ranches that he has worked on。This is not health food！ You wouldn't eat like this every day unless you actually were out there working cattle for days。 There are a lot of amazing looking recipes here。 And not too complicated， that's a plus。 Most of them seem to have readily available ingredients。 These recipes are developed for the inside kitchen， not cooking outside。 There are also tips and tricks， home remedies， and stories from different ranches that he has worked on。This is not health food！ You wouldn't eat like this every day unless you actually were out there working cattle for days。 。。。more

I was pleasantly surprised with this！！I remember watching Kent Rollins on the Food Network and I really enjoyed his style of cooking。 This work is much more than a cookbook- as other users have mentioned， it is very similar to a memoir or even an autobiography。 He really tries to go into depth about what a normal day of cooking would look like。I have starred 20 recipes from this book and cannot wait to try them！My favorite cookbook by far。

If you’ve ever thought cowboys live in their boots only， you’d be mistaken。 Any cowboy will admit those pointy-toe boots are killers after a long day of driving cattle。 A little known fact is that cowboys can’t wait to get out of those boots and put on their “shut-up dogs” – usually moccasins。 A book of delightfully arranged recipes according to the time of the drive on the range – Jingling the Horses is breakfast。 Washing off the Dust is lunch。 Priming the Pump is appy’s， and Put on your Shut-u If you’ve ever thought cowboys live in their boots only， you’d be mistaken。 Any cowboy will admit those pointy-toe boots are killers after a long day of driving cattle。 A little known fact is that cowboys can’t wait to get out of those boots and put on their “shut-up dogs” – usually moccasins。 A book of delightfully arranged recipes according to the time of the drive on the range – Jingling the Horses is breakfast。 Washing off the Dust is lunch。 Priming the Pump is appy’s， and Put on your Shut-up Dogs is supper。 Finally， Let out the Cinches is dessert。Heavy on peppers of all descriptions and heavy， also， on thick gravy and bacon with just about everything， this cookbook is not for the low fat in your kitchen。 It is an amazing collection of food fare for cowboys， written by a camp cook who’s ridden all over the American southwest。 Filled with anecdotes of life on the trail， Rollins entertains with homey wisdom， wit， and humour。 。。。more

This is a great， down to earth， easy to understand cookbook。 I loved the easy directions and ingredients。 They make things outdoors I would never consider and make it look easy。 I love the beautiful scenery！ It makes life outdoors， envious。

I found this book in our public library's catalog under 'cooking'， but it is so much more than a cookbook in my opinion。I enjoyed the author's cowboy wisdom， stories， poems， and sayings。 His writing tone is warm and welcoming。 The photography is beautiful。 All of the recipes are photographed along with photos of cowboys working， eating， resting， and laughing。 There are photos of cattle， horses， dogs， and sunsets。 Because of my lifetime fascination with all things western， I thoroughly enjoyed th I found this book in our public library's catalog under 'cooking'， but it is so much more than a cookbook in my opinion。I enjoyed the author's cowboy wisdom， stories， poems， and sayings。 His writing tone is warm and welcoming。 The photography is beautiful。 All of the recipes are photographed along with photos of cowboys working， eating， resting， and laughing。 There are photos of cattle， horses， dogs， and sunsets。 Because of my lifetime fascination with all things western， I thoroughly enjoyed the visual treasures in this book。The author included some very clever recipes that would be useful for someone camping or RV'ing because they require canned goods， boxed cake and biscuit mixes， and using what is on hand to improvise。 I did notice that there was a lack of recipes requiring fresh fruits and veggies。 This did not appeal to me because fresh produce makes up a large portion of the food staples in my family's heart healthy diet。 The yeast bread， biscuit， and pancake recipes are something I'd like to try out at home。 Also， some of the beef casseroles and beef pies could be easily customized to include vegetables if you like fresh produce as we do。 I recommend this book for people who enjoy Americana and the values and lifestyle of the ranching way of life， those who enjoy Dutch oven cooking， and those seeking to discover some new and interesting recipes to serve to their family and friends。I borrowed this book from our local public library。############## 。。。more
