In January, we published our own book: The Ucross Cookbook: Cooking for Artists on a Wyoming Ranch, featuring works by Ucross alumni. The book features the most popular recipes and stories by beloved long-time chef Cindy Brooks, transcribed by author and alumna Cree LeFavour, along with food and landscape photography by alumna Martirene Alcántara. Ten acclaimed alumni contributed creative passages: author Sigrid Nunez; visual artist Munson Hunt; choreographer Ann Carlson; playwright and screenwriter Doug Wright; writer and poet (and former chef) Brendan Basham; writer, multi-disciplinary composer and performer Karma Mayet; operatic baritone Nathan Gunn; investigative journalist and novelist Suki Kim; composer and playwright Michael R. Jackson; and novelist and nonfiction writer Judith Freeman.
