Ranch cooking built around pantry staples

Kent Rollins brings together practical ranch-style recipes and glimpses of cowboy life in a cookbook shaped by cooking outdoors and feeding people on the trail. The recipes range from breakfasts and quick weeknight meals to barbecue sandwiches, stuffed peppers, and bread pudding, with examples of familiar ingredients used in less expected ways. Photographs of the American West accompany Rollins’s tales and poetry, giving the book a place for food and frontier context alongside the cooking instructions. Its mix of meal ideas and personal storytelling makes the collection more than a set of recipes, while keeping the emphasis on hearty comfort food and accessible pantry ingredients.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks interested in outdoor or ranch-style cooking
  • Readers seeking comfort-food recipes using pantry staples
  • Those who enjoy cookbooks that pair recipes with regional stories and photographs

Book overview

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 cowboy cooking 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.) In these creative pantry recipes, 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 Western cookbook for everyone who loves good, honest food and wants a glimpse of a vanishing way of life.
