Cookbook Review:  

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl by Ree Drummond

 

So this book has been out for some time now, but Meredith received this for a Christmas gift this year. She learned out this author from her blog. I was quite impressed with the book at first glance. I really like the layout of how they show step-by-step with photos. Great for a home cook who is wondering if they are doing it right.

But then as I began reading it, almost like a novel. Tells a story of how she arrived to writing the book and living on a ranch, but from a big city (L.A.). It is charming, romantic, funny  In each recipe it tells you a little back-story about the recipe and its origin, which I enjoy. Also the photography is great throughout the book as I can appreciate; another one of my hobbies. The book intertwines the authors adventure on the ranch, family, photography, and food.

This is a great book for a beginner or novice cook with some, little, or no skill. Easy to read and follow, non-complicated.

So Meredith tried out the Chicken Spaghetti Recipe. A classic.

She is very excited about trying more of the recipes throughout the book. You can find a great deal on this book here at Amazon.
