The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes From An Accidental Country Girl by Ree Drummond

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes From An Accidental Country Girl is a homespun collection of photography, rural stories, and scrumptious recipes that have defined my experience in the country. Ree shares many of the delicious cowboy-tested recipes she's learned to make during her years as an accidental ranch wife- including rib-eye steak with whiskey cream sauce, lasagna, fried chicken, Patsy's blackberry cobbler, and cinnamon rolls- not to mention several "cowgirl-friendly" dishes, such as sherried tomato soup, olive cheese bread, and creme brulee. Ree shows her recipes in full color and step-by-step detail, so it's as easy as pie to follow along.

You'll also find colorful images of rural life: cows, horses, country kids, and plenty of chaps-wearing cowboys.

From Ree Drummond: "I hope you get a kick out of this book of mine. I hope it makes you smile. I hope the recipes bring you recognition, accolades, and marriage proposals. And I hope it encourages even the most harried urban cook to slow down, relish the joys of family, nature, and great food, and enjoy life."

Ree Drummond's The Pioneer Woman Cooks series has received a variety of customer reviews that highlight its charm, relatability, and the unique appeal of Drummond's recipes and storytelling.

One of the strongest points of Drummond's cookbooks is her ability to blend humor, personal anecdotes, and cooking instructions seamlessly. This approach has earned her comparisons to Paula Deen and Erma Bombeck, with her cookbooks offering a mix of delicious, comfort-food recipes and entertaining narratives about her life as a ranch wife. These elements have made her books not just cookbooks, but also enjoyable reads that transport readers to her life on the ranch.

Critics have praised Drummond for her down-to-earth style and the practicality of her recipes. Her books are filled with step-by-step photos that make even complex dishes feel accessible to home cooks. However, some reviews have noted that the heavy inclusion of family photos and personal stories can sometimes detract from the cooking focus, especially in her earlier books. Nonetheless, these personal touches are also what endear her to many of her fans, making her cookbooks feel like more than just a collection of recipes

Drummond's ability to evolve her content is also noted, with later books focusing more on quick and easy meals in her videos, appealing to busy home cooks. This shift has been well-received, with titles like The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Dinnertime becoming particularly popular for its accessible recipes and convenience-oriented approach

Overall, The Pioneer Woman Cooks series is celebrated for its warmth, relatability, and practical cooking advice, making it a favorite among fans of comfort food and those looking to bring a bit of ranch life into their kitchens. Read more by the author here.
