The First-Ever Cookbook for John Wayne Fans!

Honor one of the most popular actors of all time with recipes based on his most notable films. This cookbook must be the most eclectic dossier of information and recipes ever compiled--where else can you find instructions on how to prepare everything from Chinese food to Jell-O molds, all accompanied by photos and trivia from John Wayne's films, and recipe titles cornier than the script for The Conqueror? Still, we hope readers won't be snobbish and refuse to give these simple yet tasty dishes a try. As Wayne cautioned the prudish Colonel Travis in The Alamo: "Step down off your high horse, mister. You don't get lard less'n you boil the hog!" We still don't have the faintest idea what that means, but it always sounded so good. Besides, if you look hard enough in these pages, you just may find a recipe that allows you take Duke's advice literally and boil a hog.

So what are you waitin' for, Pilgrim? Stop burnin' daylight and start cookin'!
