I remember when I first stumbled upon Ree's now-famous website a couple of years ago: I was blown away by the photography and how funny she is.
But that got boring.
And she never improved.

The recipes are boring and most of them are available on her website. And I'm sick of her never referring to her husband by his real name. This isn't Sex and the City, Ree.

If I had to describe this in one word? Amateur at best.

Love it! Only wish it were a bit longer and had time estimates on food. Otherwise, enjoyable to cook with and just read! ( )

I really enjoyed the recipes, stories and photos in this book! ( )

She's cute. Nice website too, impressive how far someone can go just writing about ranch life, food & homeschooling.
Very good photographer.
I think I'd like to meet this chick.

Yummy recipes, about as far from Vegan or Lo-Fat as is possible... but who cares?! ( )

I bought this as a Christmas gift for a family member, and decided to read over it before wrapping. I'm a novice to cooking shows and blogs, however I enjoyed reading about Ree Drummond's life. Through her stories and photos, the book feels not only like a cookbook, but also a letter from a friend.

A lot of the recipes have a tex-mex style. There's a little something for everyone, from healthy corn salad, to baked goods. If she hasn't done so already, I'd love for her to create a cookbook of her former city girl vegan recipes. She stresses that her family would never eat them, but the rest of us might! ( )
