Review Quotes

"Kent Rollins is one of my favorite people ever to appear on Chopped. His cowboy-gentleman manners, his jokes--but, most of all, his delicious chuckwagon cooking--needs to find its way into your heart, and onto your table. I know your family will enjoy this collection of delicious, easy recipes and stories as much as I do."
-- Ted Allen, host of Food Network's Chopped, on A Taste of Cowboy

"Kent and Shannon have taken me along the plains of Oklahoma on their chuck wagon without my ever having set a foot there. Along the ride, I have buckled my belt more than twice from laughing so hard at their stories.If there is any book that can remove the fear of cooking from absolutely ANYONE, it is this one." -- Pati Jinich, author of Treasures of the Mexican Table and Pati's Mexican Table, on A Taste of Cowboy
