It is a worthy next chapter in the story of this remarkable Colorado restaurant and the family who formed it and continues to run it. The recipes are clear and give a grand taste of the West and Southwest. Eat hearty, and go to the restaurant if you are nearby. Not incidentally there are beautiful photographs."

I am delighted that these same sentiments and delicious recipes, such as the roasted buffalo bone marrow bones, are captured by Arnold in her first cookbook, Shinin Times at the Fort."
