Product Description
I'm Pioneer Woman.
And I love to cook.
Once upon a time, I fell in love with a cowboy. A strapping, rugged, chaps-wearing cowboy. Then I married him, moved to his ranch, had his babies . . . and wound up loving it. Except the manure. Living in the country for more than fifteen years has taught me a handful of eternal truths: every new day is a blessing, every drop of rain is a gift . . . and nothing tastes more delicious than food you cook yourself.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier is a mouthwatering collection of the simple-but-scrumptious recipes that rotate through my kitchen on a regular basis, including Perfect Pancakes, Cowgirl Quiche, Sloppy Joes, Italian Meatball Soup, White Chicken Enchiladas, and a spicy Carnitas Pizza that'll win you over for life. There are also some elegant offerings for more special occasions at your house: Osso Buco, Honey-Plum-Soy Chicken, and Rib-Eye Steak with an irresistible Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce. And the decadent assortment of desserts, including Blackberry Chip Ice Cream, Apple Dumplings, and Coffee Cream Cake, will make your heart go pitter-pat in the most wonderful way.
In addition to detailed step-by-step photographs, all the recipes in this book have one other important quality in common: They're guaranteed to make your kids, sweetheart, dinner guests, in-laws, friends, cousins, or resident cowboys smile, sigh, and beg for seconds. (And hug you and kiss you and be devoted to you for life.)
I hope you enjoy, devour, and love this book.
I sure did love making it for you.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier Reviews
| 97 of 102 people found the following review helpful  Has a photo of food ever looked so good that you tried to smell it?, By This review is from: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (Hardcover) Ree Drummond, who uses the nom de plume "Pioneer Woman" for her eponymous show on the Food Network, is following on the success of her 2009 debut The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl with a new cookbook designed to bring the taste and culture of her family-style cooking to the rest of the world.I've never seen an episode of Pioneer Woman, and had never heard of Ree Drummond up until a month ago when I was given the opportunity to review this book. My familiarity with her grew quickly only a few pages into it. "Food from my Frontier" is filled with pictures and stories of her family and children, and if you don't know the names of everyone by the time you've reached the soup section, then it's likely several pages have gotten stuck together. At first glance, I started to groan. I know all about the...

' Oh, Give Me Food, Lots Of Food' taken from the song 'Don't Fence Me In'. 'Give Me Land Lots of Land, Under Starry Skies Above, Don't Fence Me In" music by Cole Porter and lyrics by Robert Fletcher and Cole Porter. That song certainly fits the bill in Ree's life. Living in Oklahoma on a ranch, she has lots of land, lots of food, and few fences!Ree Drummond is a force to be reckoned with. Her food is stylish but has a lot of butter, oil and red meat. So, this cookbook is not for everyone. It is true she has a large family who work hard and need good nutritious meals. I would love to see her include more fresh vegetables, whole grains and fruits, and I would be a happier woman. That said, she brings such a bright spirit to the world of cooking. Her personality seems to bloom while she is cooking, and I love the down home atmosphere. It brings us to a place we wish we could visit every weekend. The Food Network has Ree... Read more 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful Yummy time, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (Hardcover) I have her first cookbook and lots of recipes looked familiar as if derived from my Mom and Grandma. The 2nd one is even more yummy and the pictures are really beautiful, makes your mouth water for sure. This is not a low fat cookbook and if you go in thinking it is, you'll be disappointed. I've tried 2 recipes so far and lets just say my husband has signed up for a few more years with me. The Tres Leche cake was a hit at our house and I have marked pages in order to try them one by one and now carry it with me to the grocery store just to make sure I have all the goodies. I love her blog and I gain 3 lbs. just reading it and this cookbook does not disappoint. Now when I read the recipes, I 'hear' her give me the little quips of humor she dishes up on the TV version of her life as a foodanista! |
