Five Marys Ranch Raised Cookbook: Homegrown Recipes from Our Family to Yours

Five Marys Ranch Raised Cookbook: Homegrown Recipes from Our Family to Yours by Mary Heffernan, with Kim Laidlaw and photography by Kathryn Gamble, brings the food and lifestyle of Five Marys Farms into the home kitchen. The book features 75 hearty, family-friendly recipes inspired by life on the Heffernan family's Northern California ranch, where Mary and her husband, Brian, raise cattle, pigs, heritage lambs—and their four daughters, all named Mary.

The recipes center on generous, rustic cooking meant for gathering around the table, with an emphasis on ranch-raised meats alongside satisfying sides, baked goods, salads, desserts, and drinks. Highlights include Loaded Carne Asada Nachos, Wood-Fired Porterhouse Steak with Mushroom-Shallot Sauce, Chili-Rubbed Pork Chops with Charred-Corn Salsa, Grilled Lamb Sliders, Cast-Iron Hasselback Potatoes, Homemade English Muffins, Sweet Drop Biscuits with Grilled Peaches and Cream, and Mary's signature Lemon-Bourbon Sidecars.

Part cookbook and part portrait of ranch life, Five Marys Ranch Raised also features evocative photography of the family's land, animals, outdoor cooking, and everyday routines. It's especially well suited to readers drawn to farm-to-table cooking, meat-forward recipes, cast-iron and outdoor cooking, family meals, and the romantic aesthetic of modern ranch life.
