In The Pioneer Woman Cooks--Dinner's Ready!, Ree Drummond (Frontier Follies) offers 112 easy-to-prepare, flavorful dinner ideas for "slightly impatient" home cooks. As is typical of Drummond's work since she started blogging in 2006, the cookbook weaves stories (and photos) of her family across chapters of themed recipes, including "Mostly Meatless" meals (meat eaters, don't worry: there are also chapters on chicken and steak dishes, specifically), "Spiffy Sides" (such as Hominy Casserole), and "Pasta for President!" Step-by-step photographs that accompany each instruction in these simple recipes, along with full-color photos of finished dishes, make this volume easy to follow, and entertaining from start to finish, much like Drummond's original blog, The Pioneer Woman. Long-time fans of her blog, as well as newcomers seeking fast, easy, and decadent dinner ideas, will delight in every bit of this addition to Drummond's cookbook series. --Kerry McHugh, freelance writer
