Montana Cooking: Cookbooks and Recipes from Montana Authors

From award winning restaurant chefs to rural ranch cooks, Montana authors have written some fantastic cookbooks. 

Montana is full of exceptionally talented chefs, including James Beard Award winners and nominees. But we're also home to a vast number of home recipe creators, and those who carry on many generations of hearty, Montana traditions. It's really the best of both worlds. The modern and the old-school. Experimental and traditional.

There are so many Montana-based cookbooks that we couldn't possibly list them all here. But we DID scour the racks for some of the absolute best, old and new. A bit of everything, if you will. NOTE: Some of the cookbook authors no longer live in Montana, but we did make sure there was a Montana connection.
