The Pioneer Woman

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.

To reviewers here who brag about Ree's profits: so what?

Phillip Morris is worth billions. That doesn't make the product a good thing.

Her recipes are Junior League cookbook knockoffs, and that has a certain appeal to a swath of America unconcerned with obesity and its effects.

It really is that straightforward.

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.

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

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.
