Autographed Prairie Table Cookbook

The Prairie Table Cookbook is autographed by Bill Kurtis!!

The Prairie Table Cookbook, by renowned journalist Bill Kurtis (with Michelle M. Martin) is a new look at food and life on the American western frontier. Featuring over 100 recipes, the book focuses on foods of the American West in the mid to late Nineteenth century. With recipes ranging from variations on coffee to meat loaf and chili, the book focuses primarily upon the American love affair with beef. Each chapter traces the history and foods of various groups on the western frontier-- American Indians, the Army, Prairie homesteaders, Cowboys and Chuckwagons and concludes with delicious modern recipes that savor the flavor of grass-fed/grass -finished beef. With recipes from Prairie Grass Cafe, Harry Caray’s, Frontera Grill, Charlie Trotter’s and Wrigley Field there is surely something to please every palette. Celebrities such as Dale Evans, Gene Autry, Will Rogers, the mayor of Dodge City and the Governor of Kansas also contributed their favorite beef dishes giving the book an authentic western flavor.

One of the chief objectives of The Prairie Table Cookbook is to educate the American food consumer about the healthy choices and alternatives that exist in the marketplace today, chiefly grass-fed/grass-finished beef. A grass-fed rancher himself, Kurtis provides the reader with several engaging lessons between chapters that explain the cattle production of the old west, the magic of grasses and the prairie and why he chose to be a grass-fed rancher himself. Each chapter contains engaging stories and personal insights from people who lived and struggled on the American prairie in the Nineteenth century, lush color photographs, and of course mouth watering recipes.
