Ree Drummond ~The Pioneer Woman Cooks

Ree Drummond is The Pioneer Woman. My sister found her web site around 2 years ago. Brenda isn't much for the cooking thing but, she loved this web site. So of course I had to check this out. I cook. I love cooking. Ree breaks everything down to the basics, the photos are great, and she talks to readers not at them or down to them. Everyone is on a level playing field in Ree's kitchen. It isn't easy teaching someone how to cook, it is a mix of science and art. To be able to do it online is amazing. I can't wait for her start posting videos!

Ree has written a new book titled The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl. From the publisher :
My name is Ree.

Some folks know me as The Pioneer Woman.

After years of living in Los Angeles, I made a pit stop in my hometown in Oklahoma on the way to a new, exciting life in Chicago. It was during my stay at home that I met Marlboro Man, a mysterious cowboy with steely blue eyes and a muscular, work-honed body. A strict vegetarian, I fell hard and fast, and before I knew it we were married and living on his ranch in the middle of nowhere, taking care of animals, and managing a brood of four young children. I had no idea how I'd wound up there, but I knew it was exactly where I belonged.

"The Pioneer Woman Cooks" is a homespun collection of photography, rural stories, and scrumptious recipes that have defined my experience in the country. I share many of the delicious cowboy-tested recipes I've learned to make during my 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. I show my recipes in full color, 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.

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."
