Jeff Tracy prepares
a meal with anchor
Cathy Marshall
during a cooking
segment on KATU’s
AM Northwest in
Portland, Ore. |
Jeff Tracy learned to cook as a
child watching The Galloping Gourmet
with his aunt. She’d scribble down a
recipe, and the next day bring the ingredients
by the family ranch so they could
make it together.
As a teenager traveling to compete in
horse shows, Tracy was exposed to the
rich culinary traditions and flavors of
each of the West’s distinct regions.
Today, as TV’s The Cowboy Cook, he
draws from these formative experiences
to create recipes that are easy for
any family to prepare using readily
available ingredients, and yet complex
and satisfying in taste and influence.
“I like to mix and mingle different
styles and traditions,” Tracy says.
“From the Southwest, to the Great
Basin, to the Pacific Northwest, the
West is so vast and full of options.”
For these tasty Tequila Scallops and
Filet Medallions, Tracy pairs heartland
beef and coastal seafood, with a hint of
Southwestern spice and tequila kick.
The result is sure to please.
“Cooking is my passion,” Tracy says.
“It lets me relax, it lets me create, and
if people have a big smile on their face
when they’re finished, then I know it’s
good.”
