The Book
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The Essential Recipes
The ninth blockbuster cookbook by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ree Drummond, featuring tested, perfected versions of her all-time favorite, most crowd-pleasing, and timelessly popular recipes—the classics that families turn to every day and year after year.
Bestselling author, Food Network personality, businesswoman, and mother of five Ree Drummond has her fair share of dog-eared and oil-splattered recipes in constant rotation. She’s learned a lot since she first started sharing recipes with the world almost twenty years ago, and now when she’s in the kitchen, her main focus is finding ways to make her all-time favorite dishes even more delicious versions of themselves—and to ensure each method is absolutely foolproof. This is a book of everybody’s tried-and-true Ree favorites, but re-examined, re-worked, and made even more perfect than the original, so that Ree's millions of fans (and their families) can share in the delicious results!
Ree focuses on her can’t-live-without dishes—those classic favorites that families turn to, week in and week out, no matter the era or generation—and including many dishes that are destined to be classics for years to come. Whether you’re just starting out as a home cook or you’re already a seasoned pro at feeding a family, you’ll love this one stop shop for all the recipes Ree and her family have loved most for the past twenty-five years, made even better this time around. Because if a recipe is worthy of repeating, it’s worthy of perfecting.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The Essential Recipes serves up dishes for every occasion, including:
- Even more perfect pancakes, for truly memorable breakfasts
- Macaroni and cheese, for an indulgent dinner or versatile side
- Meatloaf, mastered by Ree for a comforting supper
- Splendid, simple pot roast, the perfect Sunday dinner
- Chicken pot pie, for a taste of nostalgia
- Sublime scalloped potatoes with ham—rich, hearty, and so delicious
- Classic pies and cookies for every occasion
Alongside these re-tested and revamped classics, you’ll find variations to suit the pickiest palate and offer options for every occasion, like French Dip, Whiskey Carrots, and Chocolate Sheet Cake. And detailed instructions for Roast Chicken, French Fries, and Hard-Boiled Eggs Once and for All will give you the go-to methods you’ll turn to time and again.
To take away the guesswork, Ree presents all her recipes with step-by-step photos, her signature style from day one. There are also useful tips and tricks for home cooks who are looking to streamline their meal-prep efforts and revolutionize the time they spend in the kitchen, including Ree’s failsafe tips for getting ahead.
With all your very favorite tried-and-true recipes in one spot, figuring out your next meal has never been so easy. If there’s ever been a cookbook Ree considers her recipe bible . . . this is the one!
