The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The Essential Recipes
The #1 New York Times bestselling author and Food Network favorite The Pioneer Woman cooks up exciting new favorites from her life on the ranch in this glorious full-color cookbook that showcases home cooking at its most delicious (and most fun!). Welcome to Ree’s new frontier! Much has happened on Drummond Ranch over the last couple of years: The kids are growing up, another left for college, Ree’s business has expanded, and her cooking has evolved. While she still cherishes her trademark family-friendly style of food, Ree’s been cooking up some incredible new dishes that reflect the flavors, colors, and texture she’s craving these days. The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The New Frontier features 120 brand new step-by-step recipes that inject fresh, exciting elements into Ree’s beloved comfort foods.

A wife, mother, and successful entrepreneur with a thriving business and popular social media presence, Ree knows exactly what it means to juggle life’s numerous demands simultaneously. Because the day-to-day can get pretty busy, she’s created diverse and delectable recipes to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner a little simpler by including solutions using a sheet pan, an Instant Pot, and a slow cooker, as well as her much-loved cast iron skillet and Dutch oven. And to reflect her own occasional adventures in carb cutting, Ree shares 50 of the most luscious “lower”-carb recipes you’ll ever taste, designed to mix in with hearty recipes her longtime fans have come to love. In The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The New Frontier you can explore an amazing and eclectic mix of traditional and new including: Portobello Bun Burgers (revolutionary) Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal (tastes just like fall!) Cheesy Lasagna Soup (so family friendly) Fried Red Tomato Sandwich (delicious, with pesto mayo and whole basil leaves) ”Everything” Parmesan Crisps (an irresistible low-carb snack) Zucchini Caprese Sliders (a pretty and tasty low-carb delight) Blueberry Ricotta Crostini (gorgeous party food!) Teriyaki Shrimp and Pineapple Parcels (the NEW way to stir fry) Mean Green Mac & Cheese (mac & cheese + veggies = score!) Ranch Pork Chop Sheet Pan Supper (kids will love to make it) Cauliflower Fried Rice (a guilt-free version of your favorite takeout dish) Ice Cream Bonbons (smaller bites, to satisfy quick cravings) 11-Carton Cake (uses a carton of yogurt, then the carton measures everything else!) Caramel Apple Quesadillas (beyond belief) Ree mixes dazzling new dishes with plenty of kitchen and organizational tips, plus advice to help you optimize your time and space in the kitchen so that you can enjoy time with your family! Filled with sensational food that is both sophisticated and down-home (and oh-so-easy to make and bake), The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The New Frontier offers a whole new world of ”scrumptious” for you to explore!

released in: 2000
Kitchen Confidential
''I''ve been a chef in New York for more than ten years, and, for the decade before that, a dishwasher, a prep drone, a line cook, and a sous-chef. I came into the business when cooks still smoked on the line and wore headbands...;'' After twenty-five years of ''sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine'', chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain has decided to tell all. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he first experiences the real delights of being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain''s tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny. This unforgettable book will change the way you view restaurants for ever.
