Title: Fan or Not, a Useful Cookbook
Review: I’m only vaguely familiar with Ree Drummond’s “pioneer woman” persona but I’ve found myself using some of her recipes I’ve found online. So I bought this cookbook to save myself some time. The recipes are, for the most part, simple comfort food you can adjust for personal taste or diet requirements. The illustrated step-by-step instructions make each recipe user friendly for visual learners like myself. Since I’m a lifelong horsewoman, I also enjoyed the photos from her ranch and didn’t feel that they distracted from the book. It made flipping through the pages inviting.

Title: Perfect Book for Busy Families with Gorgeous Step By Step Photos and a Variety of Recipes
Review: This cookbook focuses on dinnertime meals. Well organized and filled with recipes for a wide variety of tastes, this book is good for cooks at any level.This book is simply beautiful. Filled with colorful and informative photos (there is a picture for every recipe), this book not only is great to look at but also gives good information for those of us who are competent but not particularly instinctive when it comes to cooking. I especially like the step by step photos so that I can get an idea of what the dish should look at while I am cooking it instead of just hoping it turns out like the finished product.This book is organized by type of meal. With categories such as comfort food, soup for dinner, salad for dinner, breakfast for dinner, the book gives the reader a sense of the different possibilities for meals. There is also several sections on different types of side dishes and even desserts so readers can mix and match main dishes with the sides and desserts they like to make a complete meal.I was especially pleased with the section on freezer meals. While basic and certainly not an attempt to be a treatise on the subject, this section gives readers the opportunity to prepare staples to keep frozen and then provides several different ways that those frozen staples can be used to make different meals. For example, the book provides a recipe for meatballs that can be frozen and then gives recipes for their use in sweet and sour meatballs, Swedish meatballs, etc. This section and the section on quick preparation meals are especially good for busy people who don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen to prepare a dinner.This book also has a great variety of recipes. There are recipes that are basic (especially good for picky eaters), meat and potatoes type recipes and then also recipes for more adventurous eaters. I appreciated the variety of recipes because nothing annoys me more than cooking books that are only for gourmet eaters.Although titled Dinnertime, this book has such a great variety of recipes that they can be used all day long.

Review: El libro está muy mal enmaquetado, por lo que lo devuelvo. Las recetas son muy calóricas, típicas americanas, aunque supongo que para alguna fiesta seguro que pueden ir muy bien.

Review: I was totally surprised by the amount of detailed instructions and pictures in this cookbook. I liked the TV show with her simple and down to earth recipes with easy to acquire ingredients, so that is why I ordered the book. I have now read this from front to back a few times already and made a few of the meals, which will now be added to my repertoire. A few friends have also requested a copy of certain recipes. Although I needed a new cookbook like a hole in the head, this one is a keeper! Thank you.

Review: 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.
