Cow Camp Cookery

Recently, I received an amazing cook book titled "Cow Camp Cookery", written by Dave McDowell. It is far more than just a collection of recipes. The content covers the customs, conventions and chow of the campfire crusader that will grip the interest of any reader. The pages are lined with stories, quick quotes, and pictures that kept me intrigued as I turned each page. This is the best put together cookbook that has come along in a long time that earns my highest recommendation and is a must read.
