I have been taking a great on-line course, Blogging Your Way, hosted by Holly of Decor8. We were given a homework assignment to post something on our blog. What I chose is to write a review of a book. Although I intend my blog to be mainly on stamped cards, the book I chose is The Pioneer Woman Cooks. If you read blogs, you have probably come across Ree Drummond's blog, The Pioneer Woman.com.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks is not only a great cookbook, but it is also a good read. Ree Drummond, the author, shares her life story. Her story of how she was a city girl and left her city life plans for her "marlboro man" is an interesting one. She shares about her life on the farm, her family, dogs, horses, cows, etc. There are many wonderful pictures, not only of food, but also of her farm life.
The pioneer woman adds "spunk" to well known recipes and makes them her own. I am looking forward to trying some of her recipes. I am sure my family will enjoy them. All of her recipes sound and visually look mouthwatering delicious. I usually don't read cookbooks from beginning to end; however, this is the exception. I give it 5 stars/ two thumbs up/blue ribbon award, etc.
I really like your review and photos. I've been thinking of buying this book because I love her website. Are her recipes really complicated or things your less talented cook could manage?lol I'm not a very good cook and need to start learning.
