Barbecue, Biscuits & Beans

Chuck wagon cooks Bill Cauble and Cliff Teinert looks like they have stepped out of the pages of Lonesome Dove, and the foreword by Tommy Lee Jones talks about the authenticity of their chuck-wagon cooking and Southwestern cuisine. These authors share recipes and preparation secrets for their favorite dishes of all time, 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, lush and healthy' is their goal - and achievement - as they can use ingredients and leftovers to develop meals and menus for all tastes. Photography by Watt Casey, Jr., captures the colors of the real life of the cowboy alongside the full color screens of the finished dishes and preparations.
