Synopsis: My name is Ree. Some folks know me as The Pioneer Woman. After years of living in Los Angeles, I made a pit stop in my hometown in Oklahoma on the way to a new, exciting life in Chicago. It was during my stay at home that I met Marlboro Man, a mysterious cowboy with steely blue eyes and a muscular, work-honed body. A strict vegetarian, I fell hard and fast, and before I knew it we were married and living on his ranch in the middle of nowhere, taking care of animals, and managing a brood of four young children. I had no idea how Id wound up there, but I knew it was exactly where I belonged. The Pioneer Woman Cooks is a homespun collection of photography, rural stories, and scrumptious recipes that have defined my experience in the country. I share many of the delicious cowboy-tested recipes Ive learned to make during my years as an accidental ranch wife-including Rib-Eye Steak with Whiskey Cream Sauce, Lasagna, Fried Chicken, Patsys Blackberry Cobbler, and Cinnamon Rolls-not to mention several cowgirl-friendly dishes, such as Sherried Tomato Soup, Olive Cheese Bread, and Cr?me Br?l?e. I show my recipes in full color, step-by-step detail, so its as easy as pie to follow along. Youll also find colorful images of rural life: cows, horses, country kids, and plenty of chaps-wearing cowboys. I hope you get a kick out of this book of mine. I hope it makes you smile. I hope the recipes bring you recognition, accolades, and marriage proposals. And I hope it encourages even the most harried urban cook to slow down, relish the joys of family, nature, and great food, and enjoy life.
