Summary

The stars of the YouTube channel Kent Rollins Cowboy Cooking, authors of the hit cookbook A Taste of Cowboy, serve up spins on southern and western favorites, with a side of spiritual values

Real-life cowboy Kent Rollins captivates fans from Branson, Missouri, to the Big Apple with his maverick cooking, country humor, and wisdom. In their heartfelt new book, Kent and Shannon Rollins invite everyone to sit a while at their table. Honey-Chipotle Chicken is hot off the grill. There's Cracklin' Cornbread in the skillet and Cool Cucumber Dill Salad from the garden. Save room for the Homemade Cherry Almond Ice Cream. But first, it's time for grace. Out here, there's no Wi-Fi--just family and friends.

The food is lively, but the recipes are relaxed. Kent's inspirational sayings, tales of the range, and cowboy poetry combined with Shannon's stunning photos and quotes from scripture capture faith, hope, and appreciation of life's blessings. So praise the Lord and pass the Cheddar-Jalapeño Biscuits!

Publisher's Weekly Review

Husband-and-wife Rollins (A Taste of Cowboy) expand on cowboy cuisine with an added side of biblical teachings in this unfocused outing. Solidly in the duo's wheelhouse are such satisfying recipes as savory hush puppies, fried green tomatoes, green chile pork stew, refried beans, classic Mexican street corn, green onion and ham scalloped potatoes, and their popular Cowboy Chili. But many outliers incorporate lazy shortcuts: shrimp ceviche is made with cooked shrimp, which defeats the purpose of the dish, which allows citrus to cook the shrimp; a cherry macaroon cake calls for boxed cake mix and two entire cans of cherry pie filling; Catalina Taco Salad incorporates packaged seasoning and bottled dressing; and cheesy tater soup requires an entire pound of Velveeta cheese. Then there's a mocha chocolate mousse that simply feels out of place. The generous insertions of images of cowboys out on the range accompanied by biblical verses and inspirational quotes result in what feels like an attempt to capitalize on the homespun appeal of the Pioneer Woman. This spotty effort fails to live up to the promise of its predecessor. (Mar.)
