    Paula Deen meets Erma Bombeck in The Pioneer Woman Cooks, Ree Drummond’s spirited, homespun cookbook.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks—and with these “Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl,” she pleases the palate and tickles the funny bone at the same time.

      I really enjoyed the recipes, stories and photos in this book!

      This looks like fun.
    • 4/5
      She's cute. Nice website too, impressive how far someone can go just writing about ranch life, food & homeschooling.
      Very good photographer.
      I think I'd like to meet this chick.

      Yummy recipes, about as far from Vegan or Lo-Fat as is possible... but who cares?!
    • 4/5
      This cookbook was good, but I think I prefer the PW blog. For some reason in blog form the combination of ranch stories and recipes (with fabulous photos) works better.
    • 5/5
      Read it, now I am going to cook my way through it!

      I bought this as a Christmas gift for a family member, and decided to read over it before wrapping. I'm a novice to cooking shows and blogs, however I enjoyed reading about Ree Drummond's life. Through her stories and photos, the book feels not only like a cookbook, but also a letter from a friend.

      A lot of the recipes have a tex-mex style. There's a little something for everyone, from healthy corn salad, to baked goods. If she hasn't done so already, I'd love for her to create a cookbook of her former city girl vegan recipes. She stresses that her family would never eat them, but the rest of us might!
    • 3/5
      A beautiful cookbook with fabulous photographs and a lot of recipes that sound like a lot of fun to try. I'm looking forward to trying quite a few of them the near future
    • 4/5
      I've been following her blog for ages. Love having a lot of the recipes that I've been meaning to try in one place & love the step-by-step photos. A lot of the recipes are on the "heavy" side, so it's not an everyday book. It's great when you want good comfort food though!
    • 5/5
      Loved the story behind this cookbook, and how she adds flare and flavor to her husband and ranchers meals as well as cooking healthy for her children! Immediately tried the recipe for her Pico De Gallo, changed it up a bit for my taste and it is fabulous. Believe me, it is so nice to read about her adventures and then go back to the book for more recipes in the future.
    • 4/5
      Lovely photographs! It was interesting to see what "The Marlboro Man" actually looked like! This book is filled with easy to follow recipes and country wisdom!.
    • 5/5
      This is one of my favorite cookbooks! I love her style and the photos for each recipe. I have been addicted to her blog for over a year and now I can have her in my kitchen with out my computer! I love it, Ree never lets me down in the kitchen! Her recipes are some of our family's favorites!
    • 5/5
      This is a great cookbook full of yummy comfort food meals; however, it's probably not for you if you're trying to eat healthy! Many of the recipes feature a substantial amount of cream and butter, which add to their resulting deliciousness. Part of the appeal of the book is that the recipes call for mostly ordinary ingredients, meaning nothing that you would have to go to a specialty store to hunt down. The author also includes entertaining tales from her life on an Oklahoma ranch, as well as beautiful photographs and illustrations. She has also designed the cookbook to be in a step by step format for each recipe, featuring photos of each step. Very helpful for the average cook!
    • 4/5
      So far, I've made the meatloaf and the cinnamon rolls, and they were both delicious!
    • 4/5
      The pictures are beautiful. The stories are wonderful. This is a great book, for fans of Ree's blog or for anyone who collects cookbooks. The recipes in this book are not the greatest - this has been my problem with Ree's website as well. If you read through it first, prepare to use every dish and utensil in your kitchen, and grow 3 more hands, you'll be ready to tackle some of the dishes. I love the book - it's made a great gift multiple times and it's always fun to look through.
    • 5/5
      I read cookbooks, even when they aren't as much fun as Ree Drummond's. Her writing, photographic and cooking skills add up to one enjoyable feast. The anecdotes about her family and ranch life are amusing and endearing. The photographs range from cute ("tough" ranch kids) to sublime (sunrise silhouettes of her family and ranch crew on horseback). The recipes are all things I would like to try and mostly use ingredients that I have on hand. The photographs for the recipes are plentiful and lead you through the steps. It's helpful to see what it looks like along the way, as well as seeing the finished dish. I made the cobbler recipe for a dessert night with my parents because I had fresh picked raspberries and we all loved it. Though I've put myself on a strict book purchasing diet, I may have to buy this one.

      Ree Drummond is amazing. As a storyteller, cook, photographer, and it appears wife and mother. If you've never checked out her Pioneer Woman blog, you owe it to yourself to give it a click. And if you like what you see, you will love this cookbook, which combines her passions for food, family and fotos in a marvelous compendium that is as much story as collection of recipes. .
    • 5/5
      I've been a fan of Ree's blog for a while, so when I found out that she was going to have a cook book over her recipes, plus some of her photography, I was excited and I knew I'd have to at least check it out. I ended up getting it for Christmas, and I'm really glad that I have it! It's a nice hard cover, which is nice. One thing I really love about the recipes are all of the pictures. I love being able to see what the food looks like, and she goes so beyond that by having pictures for every step so you know if you're on the right track. The humorous comments in the instructions are nice too. Before I had gotten the book, I had already made lots of recipes from her blog so I can tell you that her recipes are really good (even though they might not always be the healthiest, haha). Basically, it's a very nice, entertaining cookbook with lots of good recipes.

      I adore her recipes. They are all delicious, but they're deadly. Save her food for a special occasion. It's rich, delicious, and calorific.This book is beautifully put together and entertains as well as informs.

      If you’re not familiar with The Pioneer Woman, you need to be! This woman is amazing! She’s a ranch wife and manages to maintain an amazing blog, homeschool four kids, take gorgeous pictures and create a beautiful cookbook.I was mesmerized by The Pioneer Woman Cooks by Ree Drummond when I got it. In this wonderful cookbook Ree explains how she became The Pioneer Woman, shows a little of ranch life and shares some of her great recipes. The beauty of the recipes is that they’re created from simple ingredients that anyone can find and they’re for dishes your family will really eat. Both Carl and I found lots of recipes that we want to try – sour cream pancakes, Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich, spicy pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, comfort meatballs, just to name a few. There are only one or two recipes in here that don’t appeal to either one of us.One of the great things about the recipes in The Pioneer Woman Cooks is all of the pictures – there is a photograph for each step of the recipe. Because of this, I think this cookbook would be great for beginning as well as experienced cooks. Oh, and did I mention that Ree took all of the photographs in this book herself? I was amazed.Since cheese and olives are the two basic food groups and this recipe looked easy, I decided to fix Olive Cheese Bread first, and I have to tell you this recipe is to die for.

      If you've followed her blog as I have, you'll be pleased to find that author Ree Drummond sticks to her characteristic mix of wry humor and butter by the pound. I'm glad. It's been working for her. In The Pioneer Woman Cooks, her cookbook slash photographic memoir, Ree brings to life the story of her city upbringing with her farm woman reality, currently wrangling four kids and a husband on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma. Mesmerizing photographs of family members, get-togethers and muddy farm work blend well with humorous anecdotes — and serve to show you why her family is so hungry!Cute, ranch-laden, photo-intense asides with amusing anecdotes leave you longing for a house on the prairie in a way that 'Little House on the Prairie' episodes never did. Miss Mustang International, my favorite of these sections, showcases the farm's haughtiest mares, snobby and cool as horses can be, deadlocked in imaginary pageantry.What apparently didn't work was the step-by-step visual instructions Ree compiles for each recipe. Drummond's gorgeous pix can be viewed on her website, and it's this stunning photography that leaves viewers drooling for more. Normally. In this publication, however, her photos fall flat. Whether an error in photo correction or on press, it's a sad reality that the green tint of the tutorial pictures makes the food less than appetizing. (Let's flag this for correction on the second printing, Harper Collins. You're far too professional for this type of error. Unless it's just my copy. Hmm.)Now I bought the book despite its meat-centered mains partly to support a fellow blogger, but mostly because Drummond's recipes can be counted upon to work. This is turning out to be a rare feat in cookbookery. For obvious reasons, I won't comment on the chicken-fried steak or meatloaf recipes, sticking instead to ones I've already tried.PW's Creamy Mashed Potatoes: killer Thanksgiving staple.Maple Pecan Scones: get this, already made them three times.Cinnamon Rolls: yum.Migas: delectable, eggy nachos. I know, right?Egg in the Hole: something I've made before, but the extra butter does make it better. Like two days in row better.And I've only had the book for two weeks. In short, Drummond's pithy writing style and remarkable large-scale photography make this book almost as much a coffee table item as a kitchen resource. If you like having cookbooks you can rely on with unfussy authors you'd ask over for lunch, pick up The Pioneer Woman Cooks. You won't be disappointed, especially if you like butter as much as I do.
