>>> BlackFriday The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl
After reading SO SO many 5 star reviews and then the few sprinkled here and there that were less than stellar I was expecting this cookbook not to wow me. I thought the 5 star reviews were from fans that would love anything PW put out no matter what it was and that the people who were not impressed were probably the ones who had their feet on the ground about the book. But uh.....I LOVE the book. It's beautiful in full color (I must admit I hate cookbooks without pictures) and EVERY recipe has pictures--lots of them. I am a lover of real food: butter meat fruit veggies all the food God made in the state in which He made them. This cookbook allows me to use almost every recipe without alterations.
I know one complaint from some people was that most of these recipes are already on her blog. Maybe this is true but as the mother of 6 small children I simply don't have time to surf pages of recipes. I need them in book form in my face on my counter. A few of these recipes look familiar but I've not been able to go through all the recipes on her site. And you know even if I had been able to it's nice to not have to get online to find a recipe. So if all the recipes in the book are on her blog I am not irritated with Ree I am *thankful* to her for providing such a wonderful resource for *free* all this time and now I'm thankful I get to have all those wonderful recipes right in my hand.
