Book Synopsis

Featuring 75 family-friendly recipes straight from the ranch, this is a "beautiful, candid, heartfelt window into the life, kitchen, and home of [a] wildly successful rancher and businesswoman" (Erin Benzakein, New York Times-bestselling author of Floret Farm's A Year in Flowers).

Explore home and family on the ranch with Mary Heffernan--rancher, entrepreneur, restaurateur, wife and mother. Together with her husband, Brian, they own Five Marys Farms and are raising their four daughters--all named Mary--while pasture-raising cattle, pigs, and heritage lambs. Their work ethic is as strong as their commitment to family, and Mary believes in nourishing meals shared together--in their cozy cabin in winter and around the outdoor camp kitchen in summer.

In these 75 satisfying, homespun recipes you'll find something for every meal and mood, including Mary's favorite beef, pork, and lamb dishes, as well as the secret to her famous sidecars! Some of the stand-outs include:

--Publishers Weekly

"This is California cuisine with a decidedly carnivorous bent--it is a ranch after all. Snacks like jalapeño poppers and beef jerky precede recipes starring beef, pork, and lamb. To echo those often-spicy meats, vegetable dishes include cauliflower in peppery Buffalo sauce. Drinks and a few desserts round out the hearty offerings, and color photographs capture the beauty of ranch life and its gustatory pleasures."
--Booklist

About the Author

MARY HEFFERNAN and her husband, Brian, left behind the busy life they'd built in Silicon Valley to become cattle ranchers with their four young daughters--all named Mary. Together they own and operate Five Marys Farms, an 1,800-acre ranch in the mountains of Northern California where they live, work, and raise all-natural beef, pork, and lamb. Mary and Brian sell and ship directly from the farm to families all over the US. They share their meats with local customers and visitors from far and wide at their popular restaurant and bar, Five Marys Burgerhouse. Five Marys was awarded Best Farm in America by Paleo magazine and has been featured in Oprah magazine, Real Simple, Sunset, and other national publications. Mary has a fiercely loyal following on social media and hosts popular summer farm dinners and weekend retreats at the ranch. She and Brian believe in raising meat naturally and that great cooking starts with well-raised ingredients.
