This book contains gorgeous photos and some of the best recipes ever concocted. Don Imus said on his show that all proceeds go toward the ranch---this is a wonderful way to give to this charity and also acquire a beautiful coffee-table or kitchen book to be treasured for years to come.

I highly recommend the book and have bought two copies: one for myself, the other for my mother.

A Review of the Imus Ranch Cook Book /Not The Imus Family

I decided to order this book last week in honor of my mother. She loved Imus and she admired the work done on the Ranch for children with cancer. As soon as the book arrived I sat down to read the book and peruse the recipes. The photographs are wonderful of the children, the ranch and the food. I enjoyed reading about the day to day activites of the children and really enjoyed the stories by the children and some of the parents; My Time at the Imus Ranch.
I collect cookbooks and am always more than happy to add one to my collection. This is a beautiful book with some mighty tasty looking and sounding recipes. I am not a vegetarian but realize the worth of changing some of my ways!
I have a list of recipes I am ready to try this week; Crabbiless Crab Cakes, Homemade Pizza and Chicken Jack's 3-Bean Chili, which we are having today.
The recipes certainly are causing quite a stir, no pun intended. I am wondering if I would have been so inclined to read the book if not for all these negative reviews?!
I found the information about the vegan pantry very interesting as well as the "educate yourself" sections about such subjects as chlorine bleach and natural health and beauty items. I guess it is possible that folks who are already well-versed in these subjects might think it is "old news" but for someone who has been eating twinkies and ho ho's relying on the preservatives to extend her life, this is a very informative book.
This is certainly not, just a cookbook. The book tells the story of some children who are able to feel a sense of worth and accomplishment by roping cattle, riding horses, doing farm chores and being treated like normal children for even a little while in their lives, which may be filled with hospitals and doctors and sickness. There should be many places like this for children. I for one appreciate what happens at the Ranch for these children.
Great book! Great Recipes! Great Kids! Great Cause!

Cooking for Cowboys?

How many cowboys do you know who are vegetarians? Can you imagine John Wayne or Gary Cooper as vegetarians? Don't make me laugh! Deirdre Imus would have been smart to actually make this a cookbook for kids and cowboys, not for vegans.

Don Imus needs to stand up to his wife and eat some meat. I saw Imus and his wife on Larry King the other night and he looked like a dead man propped up - pale and pasty. I tape the Imus shows in the mornings to watch later. It seems like he and his wife get sick alot. Deirdre is still reasonably young and can get away with eating this wacky diet. But Don, please, for heaven's sake, eat some steak!
