Rees Country Küche

Everything about this show is phony. The "ranch" is a multi-million-dollar operation replete with rambling mansion. They also own most of the nearby town.

The recipes, and yes I've tried a few, are hideous. She can't make anything without dousing it with sugar.

The entire concept of the show, with it's fake field workers and all, is really insulting.

I started watching the Pioneer Woman by accident and haven't stopped watching ever since. I found the whole series being as cooking for a Southern American Ranching family for all situations perfect as my antidote to life's stresses especially after a hard day at work and returning to an empty home. Ree comes across as a very warm person, available and motherly always smiling even when cooking multiple meals. Similarly her family, her house any invited persons all come across as affable. I know that this is fairy tale like to the actual circumstances, but hey I buy this, preferring it to some police/violent or scandal driven drama as presented daily on tv. Personally I wouldn't try half the recipes as presented by Ree as these are laden with fats or sugar. I do remember the episode when she was trying to lure back her husband from taking his breakfast, by frying a fatty breakfast and cooking cinnamon buns in loads of butter and sugar. It was so wrong from a healthy point of view but so sweet of her in her intentions. The way she repeatedly voices her concerns and they way she would solve them through her baking makes me feel so soothed. There is something magical about her programmes Ree is actually selling a make believe lifestyle that some of us dream of. I like this gal :)

This show and host is so warm and inviting. You get to see first hand her kitchen, ranch and family. Being from Texas and now living in LA, this makes me miss the South and the good cooking. It is great to see such a close knit family that instills work ethics and spending quality time with your family. My mouth waters at just about everything she cooks. It makes me feel like I am right there with Ree Drummond (the host) and have a personal invitation to visit her loving home.

I am concerned about The blouses Ree wears while cooking over gas flame. Those sleeves would go up in secs. I love her recipes and her personality as she cooks but please be aware of those sleeves. I am an ER nurse and have this happen more than once.

The camera person needs to spend less time on the host and more time actually filming the food and the cooking/preparing process.
