Who hasn't fantasized about leaving behind the chaos of
everyday life and moving someplace where life is simpler?
Well, that's just what chef and food writer Paula Disbrowe
did when she left New York City and moved to Texas. She
traded her subway MetroCard for a pickup truck and her
stiletto heels for a pair of down-home cowboy boots. In Cowgirl Cuisine, Paula tells her story through food. She
weaves together romance, adventure, and more than a few
laughs as she celebrates the beauty of flavorful food, fresh
air, and her own wholesome recipes, all while taking home
cooks on a journey well off the beaten path. Like Texas itself, the recipes in Cowgirl Cuisine are
big-hearted and bold—whole-grain muffins bursting with
berries, salads loaded with leafy herbs and avocado, and
fiery bowls of chili. Paula's food is healthful and full of
nutrients, but this is not a diet cookbook—cowgirls don't
have time to count calories (besides, they burn it all off
hoisting newborn calves, hiking the hills, and galloping off
on long trail rides). Instead, this is food that is
satisfying and easy to prepare, which leaves plenty of time
for living life to the fullest. From hearty ranch breakfasts to fresh salads, spicy nibbles,
seductive desserts, and killer watermelon margaritas,
Paula's recipes are full of her signature zest, spunk, and
spice. Start your day off right with Canyon Granola or
Cowgirl Migas. For lunch, have a nourishing bowl of silky
Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Red Chile Cream or Chicken and
Citrus Slaw Tostadas. For dinner, try Gazpacho Risotto with
Garlic Shrimp or Cowboy Pot Roast with Coffee and Whiskey.
And be sure to save room for one of Paula's decadent
desserts, such as Chocolate Pecan Squares or Dulce de Leche
Flan with Pepita Brittle. In addition to her recipes, Paula includes humorous and
heartfelt vignettes about wild animals on the loose,
scorpions in the sheets, and Casanova cowboys. And the pages
are filled with lush photographs of food and life on the
range. Cowgirl Cuisine isn't just spurs and salsa—it's about
following your dream. So saddle up and follow yours.
