The Pioneer Woman Cooks―Food from My Frontier

Love Ree's writing style & accompanying photos. Look forward to trying recipes from this book. Note: not essential, but best to own a cast iron skillet (have purchased Lodge one) as 80%ish of recipes use a skillet!! You can improvise with whatever cooking items you already own. I just wanted an excuse to buy one an immerse myself in the whole American cooking experience!!!! Note: I would say this book has more of an eclectic mix of recipes than her other two. Veggie dishes, pasta, seafood, meat other than Beef!!!! This is a good thing & may turn out to make this book my fav out of her 3 cookbooks!

Good

Thanks so much for shipping this amazing book super fast! I would definitely buy from you again! ❤️

Another lovely book from Ree Drummond. Makes you feel part of the family

Love Ree drummonds style of cooking her books are well written easy to follow and the finished product tastes good, delivered earlier than expected

Not impressed by the delivery fiasco, book cover grubby,but actual book just what I wanted.

I found the whole book to be quite to my taste and therefore a very useful addition to my favourite cookery books. I particularly like the detailed photographs of each recipe and the writer's sense of humour.

This book is amazing. Simple recipes from a country I would love to live in. This is the closest I can get to America until I go again. Not diet food but so yummy. Onion strings rule!!!

Es de sus primeros libros pero tienen muy buenas recetas dentro así que lo he usado bastante. Mu fácil de seguir y amo las fotos que acompañan todo

I am not sure where to start....I guess I should begin by telling you that this cookbook is wonderful! To put it mildly, the pictures are crisp, colorful and clear. If you are trying any of the recipes, it is an understatement that you will find step-by-step directions and images to follow. Honestly, you feel like you are in Ree's kitchen cooking or baking alongside of her. Her hints and comments along with her photographs are a testament to Ree's sense of humor and competence in the kitchen. The author is proud of her family and it shows. Here and there you will see pictures of her family including the dogs. I found it refreshing and gave the book a touch of whimsy. Is her style of cooking and baking healthy? Wellllll, not really. But it is delicious :-). Just hum the Mantra of Moderation. After you have fixed one of her recipes follow it up the next day with lots of fresh fruits and salad. Like anything you eat, don't go overboard. OK, let's talk recipes. I made her Sloppy Joes and Strawberry Shortcake Cake today. The Drummond family must like spicy! Be aware that you can tailor the recipes to suit your family's tastes. When I made the Sloppy Joes I eliminated the Tabasco sauce and red pepper flakes. I substituted one teaspoon of cumin and halved the amount of chili powder. It still packs a punch but is mild enough for my husband, kids and grandkids-they love it! And, did I say that I have never liked Sloppy Joes before trying this recipe? It is true but I am now hooked. The Strawberry Shortcake Cake is a dense buttery cake that is quite a bit tastier then biscuit-types or those small yellow shells you buy in the grocery store. Again, I adjusted the recipe. I eliminated one of the sticks of butter in the frosting and it was fine. The only thing I can think of why it required two sticks is it may have made for easier spreading. I have a thin slice to the side of me right now that I am sampling. It is delicious and both recipes are keepers. Who will enjoy this book? 1) Followers of Paula Deen's style of cooking; those who are 'Friends of the Butter'. 2) Cookbook collectors, and I have to say that as of today there are already two vendors on Amazon that have this book as 'Collectible- Like New'. Their price? $49.95 plus S& H. So if you want this 'first edition' buy it now for $16.82. 3) Someone new to cooking and baking. Are you looking for a nice gift for a newlywed couple? Unless they don't eat meat or insist that everything that goes in their mouth is healthy, they should enjoy this recipe guidebook. You can't go wrong. 4) Lovers of comfort food. 5) If you love her blog, The Pioneer Woman, and here I will make a comment about what another reviewer wrote. Yes, I agree, you can find quite a few of her cookbook recipes online. The two I tried today are posted on the internet BUT I am willing to spend the money to have a condensed hardcopy of her recipes in front of me. When I want to try one I just open the book and go for it. I think it shows you just how confident Ree is to be able to share her love of cooking online AND know that there are those of us who will want to have a cookbook, too.

Ich bin auf Ree Drummond durhc ihr Blog schon vor Jahren aufmerksam geworden (thepioneerwomancooks.com). Dort gibt es mit tollen Fotos bebildert herzhafte amerikanische Gerichte mit Ausflügen in die italienische und mexikanische Küche. Die hohe Erwartung, die man durch den Blog hat, wird im Kochbuch voll erfüllt (Ree hat mittlerweile ja schon zwei Kochbücher veröffentlicht). Achtung: hier wird herzhaft gekocht, das ist also nix für Diätbesessene ;-) Die Rezepte sind sehr gut nachkochbar, jeder Schritt ist gut beschrieben und bebildert. Und dank der tollen Bilder auch wirklich auch schön zu schmökern. Das Buch deckt ein breites Protfolio an Rezepten ab: von Frühstück über Lunch zum Dinner, Vorspeisen, Suppen, Desserts etc. Alles drin was man braucht und viele leckere Sachen sind dort zu entdecken. Unbedingter Kauftipp!!!!

This is easily my favourite cookbook. The pictures are beautiful and as someone who grew up in the country, I love seeing snapshots of Ree's life on the ranch. Every single recipe has a picture and for me this is huge. I have so many cookbooks that don't have pictures for the recipes and guess what? I never end up cooking from them. The step-by-step picture directions are super helpful because whenever I'm making a new recipe I'm always wondering "is it supposed to look like that?". Plus, so far every recipe I have made from this cookbook has tasted really good! I hate putting time and effort into recipes that don't turn out and so far that has not happened with this cookbook (and I have made many of the recipes). I love this cookbook so much, I bought it as a gift for my mom. I hope she likes it as much as I do. I also just pre-ordered Ree's Holiday Cookbook and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

A great insight into american cuisine! I love the recipes, the pictures and the stories. A great book for yourself or to gift someone! the only downside is that we don't use the same measuring systems, but that's solved with the help of Google! I recommend this book!
