Review:

While the collection of recipes in this book-- for the most part -- hardly qualifies as authentic cowboy fare, it is fun for retro food and 50's nostalgia buffs.

This book, like all the books in Collector's Press' Retro series, is designed in classic 50s retro style with full color artwork and photographs. And while some of the fare might be considered "cowboy cooking," the rest still has that retro 50s diner feel that so fits the overall design and feel of the book.

Campers of all generations, however, will appreciate the wide variety of Dutch oven recipes, along with detailed instructions and tips for using a Dutch oven.

Like all the books in this series, it makes a great gift for nostalgia buffs and retro food enthusiasts, as well as western and cowboy buffs. If you're looking for real cowboy food, however, look elsewhere.

Chapters include: Using a Dutch Oven; Fixin' to Eat; Boot-Scootin' Breads; Vittles to Fill Yer Middles; Six-Shooter Soups and Sides; Desserts Worth a Draw.
