Product Insights

Faith, Family & The Feast is the 272-page sequel from Kent Rollins, Oklahoma's Official Chuck Wagon and champion ranch cook, translating his working chuck-wagon repertoire into a home-kitchen cookbook. The core promise is approachable cowboy cooking with supermarket staples, standard ovens, and cast-iron technique—teaching seared edges, pan fond, and even tomato sauces if you reseason after each use, while the signature chili flexes to any meat with beans optional. The tradeoff is a meat-forward collection: only two meatless mains, no nutrition or allergen flags, and regular cast-iron upkeep plus fresh-produce prep are part of the deal. The story layers in breakfast-and-blessing openings, scripture and cowboy poetry, and Shannon Rollins' cowboy-culture photography, backed by endorsements and a video companion.
