Elizabeth Poett, star of Ranch to Table, shares hearty, celebratory recipes from her family's California cattle ranch in her exquisite, inviting cookbook The Ranch Table.
Poett offers up meat-centered options, like robust Ranchers' Beef Chili; lighter fare, such as citrus-kissed Grilled Fish and Jalapeño Tacos; and tempting sweets, like gooey Fudgy Caramel Brownies. Menus support annual occasions: a large spread for branding day, a quick steak-and-potatoes dinner for a school night. A poetic, intimate essay about life on the ranch opens each section. Gorgeously styled photos accompany each recipe; picturesque shots of Poett and her family in the honey-gold California sunlight are interspersed.
The Ranch Table offers delicious home cooking wrapped up in a romantic view of one family's way of life. --Jaclyn Fulwood, blogger at Infinite Reads
