The Pioneer Woman Cooks―Dinnertime: Comfort Classics, Freezer Food, 16-Minute Meals, and Other Delicious Ways to Solve Supper!

The book itself is colourful, not only the recipes. Full of wonderful photos by Ree Drummond with funny captions. Each recipe is introduced by the writer. When I first got it, I only read these, it is like reading a book, Ree is clever and funny (check out her blog or watch on Food Network). The recipes are undeniably American (tex-mex mainly) in taste and sized for a big family and calorific (they are a very active family) but the ingredients are common enough to be easily obtained in the UK and I can always choose to substitute the ingredients for lighter versions. The mesurements are given consistently in cups and spoons, however, there is a conversion table at the end of the book. Unlike some other cookery books, this one has got photos and descriptions of every step of every recipe which makes them really easy to follow. Also, with every recipe, Ree offers tips for making ahead and for variations. I genuinly believe that ideas in chapters like Freezer Food, 16-Minute Meals or Pasta Pronto might make the life of really busy families easier.

I am a bad cook, not good at all. My best University meals consisted of bolognese from a jar at a push, and that still didn't taste great. Since finding Pioneer Woman I have made all of my meals from scratch, they are yummier than before. I enjoy impressing my boyfriend and my housemates with the cakes and meals that I cook. I can now call myself a good cook! Change my life to be honest. Thank you Pioneer Woman. She keeps her recipes simple and easy to follow, but best of all she doesn't use a thousand pots and pans... she aims to use one or two at the most which saves on washing up. Perfect :)

Great buy

Great book! I'm not a very confident cook and this book is great for that as each recipe has detailed instruction along with a lot of step by step pics. I had seen pioneer woman on food network tv channel and make 7 tin soup recipe that was featured as a quick dinner. It went down really well!! So bought a book. So far I have made 3 recipes from the book my partner loved everything! Fussy teenager liked 2 out of 3 so that's a bit plus!! Only downside is you have to convert measurement from US to UK e.g. Measures in quarts and cups plus some ingredients I can't find in local shops so I've used what I think is similar. So far so good. This book has a section for batch cooking which is great! I made a stuffed pasta shell dish which you can freeze (I made a third if recipe to try) it was great my teenager loved it!! Will definitely make the full recipe in future and freeze some. Book cover various sorts of recipes some with a Mexican vibe like enchiladas and taco, some just good old American with a kick plus a few surprise English like Salisbury steak! With all cook books you don't like all the recipes but this book has a good range of recipes and a little peek into the authors life on the ranch with a few stories and pictures of the family.

Very pleased with this purchase. It includes so many recipes - a lot of those which have featured in Ree's TV show too. She covers many different types of meal idea and they are perfect for week day eating. I particularly dislike when recipe books omit pictures, however, this book is photographed brilliantly with lots of step-by-steps pics for different stages of the recipe as well as what all the final dishes should look like. The recipes are not complicated, are very easy to follow and you are not likely to go wrong with this book.

I bought this book as a christmas present for my mum but after flicking through it I'm going to place an order for myself! This book is huge, i cannot emphasise this enough, it is thick and heavy and bursting with recipes. The book is scattered with beautiful photographs of ree and her family and their gorgeous ranch and of course the delicious recipes. There is something to choose from for any occasion and I think this is going to be a frequently referenced book for my mum (and me once I get mine!)

This was a present but had a sneak peak and the recipes look delicious! As the book has been made for the American market there were some items I was unfamiliar with such as Kosher Salt and there were cheeses I'm not sure are readily available but having looked on the internet it's easy to get a similar replacement. The recipes were varied and there are a lot of them. I would say they are more filling, cheese/cream loaded recipes so not suitable for those dieting though! Desserts looked great too.

Love this book. Love Ree. Love Ladd & the kids Love Charlie. Love Food. Love Cooking. This book has it all, yes maybe you have to be a fan of the Pioneer Woman to like all the pictures and small stories about her family, but that is what makes it so special, it is more than just a cook book! I love the easy recipies, the step by step pictures and her flavours are as usual spot on. Mind you, it is not low calorie food (they live and work on a ranch so need the energy) and I don't cook from it every night, but I use it a lot. I also just flick through it sometimes as it is a beautiful book, and yes, I read cook books even when I am not cooking!

El libro está muy mal enmaquetado, por lo que lo devuelvo. Las recetas son muy calóricas, típicas americanas, aunque supongo que para alguna fiesta seguro que pueden ir muy bien.

Purchased this for my wife as a Christmas present. Ree's recipes are wonderful and with the many pictures and explanations, are easy to follow. The book is almost like a story for each recipe and is fascinating reading. Although my wife is an expert cook, she loves the many foods that Ree makes and has cooked many of the recipes in this book. Her instructions are so well written, that I can follow them to make a dinner for my wife and I am not a good cook. Her recipes use what a good cook would have in the kitchen and nothing that's exotic or expensive to purchase. A beginner cook would love this book, and even someone that has cooked for years will get pleasure from the many dinners that are presented on the pages. Ree is an excellent photographer and the pictures make the book even better as you know how each step should look like and then the end results. If you can match the end product, you know you did it right. And you also know you just made a excellent meal!!!

Good cook book
