Chuck Wagon Cooks Bill Cauble and Cliff Teinert look like they stepped out of the pages of Lonesome Dove, and the foreword by Tommy Lee Jones speaks to the authenticity of their chuck wagon cooking and Southwestern cuisine. These authors share recipes and preparation secrets for their all-time favorite dishes, from elegant to elegant, with bounty or beef and game, vegetables from beans, tomatoes and pumpkin to hominy, homemade bread and delectable desserts. 'Adaptable and inventive, sumptuous and healthy' is their goal - and achievement - as they can use ingredients and leftovers in developing meals and menus for all tastes.
