Comfort Food the Cowboy Way: Backyard Favorites, Country Classics, and Stories from a Ranch Cook

The stars of the YouTube channel Cowboy Kent Rollins and the authors of the hit cookbook A Taste of Cowboy, Kent and Shannon Rollins, share more than 125 recipes of comfort food for the family, with true chuck wagon stories.

While real-life cowboy Kent Rollins and his wife Shannon sure have a busy life on the range, slinging hash, beating Bobby Flay on Food Network, and running their YouTube channel, Cowboy Kent Rollins, they never forget to take a moment to break bread and share around the dinner table. Kent and Shannon's wisdom, warm generosity, and life-brightening humor are interwoven throughout Comfort Food the Cowboy Way, with stories and cowboy history, including tales from life on the range, growing up in a rural family, and the interesting characters they've met on the trail.

The recipes included are equal parts hearty and scrumptious, from their classic Southern and Western favorites to the more spice-forward Mexican-style dishes. There's also backyard grilling and smoking, one-pot meals, and tips to add cowboy twists and authentic punched-up seasoning to all your cooking—and of course, all the recipes qualify as true comfort food the cowboy way, are easy-to-follow, and meant to be served up family style. With chapters spanning breakfast to dinner, plus grilling, desserts, and cowboy classics, this complete course of cowboy cooking is a must have for anyone wanting to slow down and enjoy a great meal, with even better company.
