UW Cookbook Now in Stock and Available for Purchase
Oct. 18, 2005 -- The University of Wyoming’s new cookbook, “Black Tie and Boots: Timeless Traditions from the New West,” is now in stock and available for purchase.

All of the recipes were submitted by Wyoming residents and by University of Wyoming alumni living throughout the nation and the world.
Featured recipes have been organized into menus for a variety of special occasions, such as a commencement dinner, picnic at Vedauwoo, Fourth of July barbecue, Halloween luncheon, elegant dinner, winter Mexican supper, pre-theatre hors d'oeuvres, and Cowboy Joe tailgate party.
