The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Comforting Dinners for the Whole Family

Debbie C.: I like the recipes but was disappointed that the book sleeve cover was tattered on the edges. I would have returned it if I had bought it for a gift.

wackyjac: Great book! I'm not a very confident cook and this book is great for that as each recipe has detailed instruction along with a lot of step by step pics. I had seen pioneer woman on food network tv channel and make 7 tin soup recipe that was featured as a quick dinner. It went down really well!! So bought a book. So far I have made 3 recipes from the book my partner loved everything! Fussy teenager liked 2 out of 3 so that's a bit plus!! Only downside is you have to convert measurement from US to UK e.g. Measures in quarts and cups plus some ingredients I can't find in local shops so I've used what I think is similar. So far so good.
This book has a section for batch cooking which is great! I made a stuffed pasta shell dish which you can freeze (I made a third if recipe to try) it was great my teenager loved it!! Will definitely make the full recipe in future and freeze some. Book cover various sorts of recipes some with a Mexican vibe like enchiladas and taco, some just good old American with a kick plus a few surprise English like Salisbury steak!
With all cook books you don't like all the recipes but this book has a good range of recipes and a little peek into the authors...

Andrei: I have only made one recipe so far - the Orange Chicken which was delicious. A lot is written about her using a lot of store cupboard ingredients but firstly she lives on a Ranch 2 hours drive from the nearest supermarket so, of course, she has to use some ready prepared items and this can be a good shortcut for busy people to speed up their cooking. However, if you want to make your own broth (stock) there is nothing to say you can’t. Adapt her recipes to fit your life. I note conversion tables are now in her books to assist with measurements. Most, if not all, of the ingredients that are not available in the UK are available online, even from Amazon so a little bit of fore planning will resolve that issue.

petlin: The book itself is colourful, not only the recipes. Full of wonderful photos by Ree Drummond with funny captions. Each recipe is introduced by the writer. When I first got it, I only read these, it is like reading a book, Ree is clever and funny (check out her blog or watch on Food Network). The recipes are undeniably American (tex-mex mainly) in taste and sized for a big family and calorific (they are a very active family) but the ingredients are common enough to be easily obtained in the UK and I can always choose to substitute the ingredients for lighter versions. The mesurements are given consistently in cups and spoons, however, there is a conversion table at the end of the book. Unlike some other cookery books, this one has got photos and descriptions of every step of every recipe which makes them really easy to follow. Also, with every recipe, Ree offers tips for making ahead and for variations. I genuinly believe that ideas in chapters like Freezer Food, 16-Minute Meals or Pasta Pronto might make the life of really busy families easier.
