As a portrait of a real American family kitchen, it works." -- New York Times "Drummond invites fans into her world with irresistible recipes and photos... Here's a mom of four who can turn out a Perfect Pot Roast and make feasts for girlfriends that start with sangria and finish with creme brulee. It's sweet and seductive: You'll want to plunge right in." -- People "Jokey and irresistible. Drummond's...appreciation for something as simple as well-made pico de gallo is infectious. Such attentiveness to basic cooking skills makes the book entertaining and useful." -- New York Times Gift Guide "Who needs Julia Child? I've got Pioneer Woman." -- Baltimore Sun "Drummond's writing style is closer to a good friend dishing out advice than an expert telling people want to do." -- Denver Daily News "[Ree Drummond] whips up mouthwatering meals with easy-to-find ingredients (she's miles away from restaurants and supermarkets) and shares what living in a not-so-little house on the prairie is really all about.
