[.ca] The Imus Ranch: Cooking For Kids and Cowboys (ISBN 0875969194)

The Imus Ranch: Cooking for Kids and Cowboys:
This is absolutly a great book, those with eating disorders or health issues involving cloging of the artertys and a host of other infermities would do well to read this book and try the meals inside. This book needs to be expanded, and in my opinion should be handed out by the HMO's to new members, looking forward to the next book on this subject by Deirdre Imus.

Pro-Stern listeners get a life!:
I was a pro-Stern fan until Sam Kenison's death. After that his show went downhill and his humor kept repeating to a mind-numbing experience of a pervert lusting after women. I then became curious of Mr. Don Imus and I have been an avid listener since. I attended his book signing and although he was sick (from a lung disorder, and not nutrition you knuckleheads) Mr. Imus and his wife were very gracious. It is rather obvious on this web site by the "reviews helpful" that pro-Stern heads are using this as an opportunity to serve Mr Big Nose's agenda. I doubt if any marriage is perfect, and Mr. Big Nose is so shallow and selfish, in my opinion, that his "loving" wife left him because he is impossible to live with. I listened to him for years listening to his self-serving dribble. The book itself is not a comfortable read knowing that children are experiencing chemo and all that....but we are combating a very destructive demon regarding cancer. Let's try these recipes for our own salvation and get off the Big Macs. All this bickering on this web site about Mr. Imus' submersive agendas is just silliness. Does he fire people? Yes. But they are also the first to list him on their resumes.

Great cookbook too bad the recipes aren't Deirdres!!:
I give this cookbook 5 stars because the recipes belong to Chef Ron of Las Vegas New Mexico! No, sorry I am not a Howard Stern fan just a girl who would have liked for Chef Ron to have been given credit for his work. So I guess I am a Chef Ron fan along with all the people who visited the ranch and loved his food! Did Deirdre ever cook them a meal while they visited the ranch? No!! So how can she say that these are her recipes? These are the recipes that Chef Ron cooked for the wonderful kids at the ranch and some of them even appeared on his menu from his former restaurant! As some of the other reviewers mentioned this has nothing to do with being a fan of Howard's and a hater of Don's, it has to do with principle!! The fact is that Deirdre fired Chef Ron when she realized that Chef Ron had some fans on the ranch! How egotistical is that!? My goodness the kid's really liked Chef Ron as well as the parents, so all she did was deprive them of a wonderful relationship with this man!! The book is great and the pictures are great but Deirdre took someones else's pride and called it her own!

GREAT Cookbook with GREAT Information for Organic Living:
I have seen the negative reviews for this book on this site and I have to say something else is going on here. These people must be Howard Stern fans and just think they have to destroy anything Don Imus is involved in. I mean can a Cookbook really incite these kind of hateful comments? Give me a break. This book is wonderful. The recipe's are all vegetarian, actually ovo-vegan (No Dairy but does eat eggs) and I have tried several of them so far and they are wonderful. There is also a summary at the beginning of the book of products used that alot of people will not be familiar with and the pictures throughout the book are absolutely wonderful. All the proceeds of the book go to the Imus Ranch. After reading many of the stories in the cookbook from the kids who have stayed there (who are quite often terminally ill and/or fighting other tremendous obstacles) they seem so excited because they are taught all about hard work on the ranch, and the importance of healthy eating and living in a healthy environment - the ranch is completely organic and chemical free. The expereince sounds wonderful and appears to be very, very positvie for the kids who participate. The recipes are GREAT and being that the proceeds go to such a wonderful cause I think overall this will become one of my favorite cookbooks and I plan to use it time and time again.

Come on people!!!:
Well, I haven't bought the book yet but I plan to do so. I am a vegetarian and I have looked through the book and it has wonderful recipes. Deirdre and Don Imus are very good people who care about others, especially children. If you don't like them or the book, then don't support them and think you are wasting money because you are not. All of the proceeds go towards the ranch to help children who have cancer and let them enjoy life!!
