Travel with Big Red — a venerable longbed pickup with an attitude and a cabover — and the original Recipe Rangers on recipe trading expeditions in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. It's a delicious new take on recreational travel...and it makes for tasty, witty and adventurous reading.
Ellison and Montgomery are two writer/cooks who, as semiofficial Recipe Ranger nonmenbers, have made it their mission to propagate goodwill and Ultimate Dressing, a secret recipe they trade with Type 3 people they encounter along the way. The favorite recipes of dozens of fellow traveling cooks have found their way into this book. Could one of your favorites find its way into Book Two?
Each recipe has a story, of course. And every heartwarming, quirky travel/cooking tale comes with a detailed map (42 in all) and precise directions, in addition to a mouthwatering recipe. The authors' "interludes -- like the Legend of Ajo and Olivia, and A Ghost Town Tale -- add spice and stuff you never knew.
You want adventure? Recipe Rangers in the West has got it! Will the the Recipe Rangers survive a crossfire in the Alabama Hills, a Lara Croft fightalike at Lake Nacimiento, the road to High Lonesome, Burro Schmidt's Tunnel, creative anachronists at Windward and not one but two Devil's Punchbowls? Well, folks, Ultimate Dressing saved their hides in each and every encounter. How? You'll just have to read the book to find out!
By the time you're through, you'll be itching to explore new places, new dishes and the top-notch website that complements this charming, one-of-a-kind book. Click on the fork-in-hat icon to the right for a test drive. But be warned: you might even decide to start trading Ultimate D!
