Drawn from the author's ongoing column in TrueWest Magazine, this
cookbook combines myths, nostalgia, and legends with usable,
delicious, and fun recipes for use at home or on the trail--all
with a western theme. Readers will be surprised to learn the
stories behind some of their favorite recipes, and they'll find
inspiration from the days of cooking along the trail or in the old
iron cook stove in these dishes interpreted for a modern cook's
kitchen.
America’s chefs and cooks have been serving meals to their
customers since this country’s early beginnings. Many created
their own recipes based on available ingredients, creativity, or at
the request of others. Some also took humble home recipes and made
them their signature specialties. Many of those culinary treasures
have become synonymous with certain hotels and restaurants in
America. Many have become household names, but their origin has
slipped back into history. Signature Dishes of America captures
nearly 100 of these well-known dishes and their origins. Some, like
Eggs Benedict, Prime Rib, and Key Lime pie were created decades ago
and are mainstays in our culinary world today. There’s also
dishes like Los Angeles’ Brown Derby’s Chiffon Cake whose
recipe was created by mistake or how Tucson’s El Charro’s Tia
Monica Flin accidentally invented the chimichanga. How many people
have eaten one of these historic foods and wished they knew more
about them or be able to make them at home? This collection of
recipes and their background is a tasty way to share some amazing
American food history and culture.

While a few people called the area we know as Cary home in the
1700s, it was not until 1854 that signs of a village began to
appear. The enterprising businessman Allison Francis "Frank" Page
bought 300 acres on which he operated a sawmill and did some
farming. The railroad soon reached Cary, and in 1868, Frank saw the
opportunity to start a new venture and built a hotel, which served
meals and provided accommodations to train passengers. Cary was
incorporated in 1871. By 1880, there were nearly 300 residents, and
by 1930, that number had tripled. The timber industry kept Cary
alive, as well as cotton gins and other manufacturing businesses.
Cary had a private boarding school by 1870, and in 1907, it became
the first publicly funded school and attracted students from around
the state. Doctors, lawyers, merchants, churches, and many other
businesses sprang up. However, it was the creation of Research
Triangle Park that caused Cary's explosive growth.

Filled with more than 150 recipes, anecdotes, and stories from some
of America's most popular writers and personalities, this
collaborative effort has a writerly sensibility and a Western point
of view. Including recipes for drinks, appetizers, main dishes,
side dishes, desserts, and fun extras-as well as stories from and
profiles of the contributors, this is both a Western book and a
cookbook that moves beyond the genre.
When most people hear the name Earp, they think of Wyatt, Virgil,
Morgan, and sometimes the lesser known James and Warren. They also
had a half-brother named Newton, who lived a fairly quiet,
uneventful life. While it's true these men made history on their
own, they all had a Mrs. Earp behind them--some more than one. The
Earp men, starting with the patriarch of the Earp clan, Nicholas
Porter Earp, did not like being alone. Nicholas Earp was married
three times, with his last marriage being at the age of 80 his
bride being 53. Three of his sons would follow their father's lead
and marry more than once. It's also possible these Earp brothers
had additional brides or lovers that have yet to be discovered One
could argue some of these women helped shape the future of the Earp
brothers and may have even been the fuel behind some of the fires
they encountered. This book collectively traces the lives of the
women who shared the title of Mrs. Earp either by name or
relationship. The name Earp has stirred up many a historical
controversy over the years, from false photos to false accounts and
so much more. With any history, there is bound to be controversy
simply because it can be a jigsaw puzzle.
