The American West – a region of natural beauty and sharp contrast that has been the home of Native Americans, cowboys, rugged pioneers, and miners – has had a profound effect on America’s culinary heritage.

Please join Public Television Chef, cookbook and lifestyle author, and registered nurse, Christy Rost as she shares the multicultural culinary perspective and environmental influences in the American West. (Think: Grilled Bison New York Strip Steaks with Ancho Glaze, Grilled Southwest Chicken Breasts with Cilantro Pesto,  and Quail with White Beans.)
