I had not heard anything about the plagiari...Wow!!! I had not heard anything about the plagiarism scandal (I don't watch her show, You Tube or otherwise so I guess I just wasn't in the know). That's definitely serious :/Meg @ A Bookish Affairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634397276714805455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-48563619547549062612012-07-29T00:32:51.958-04:002012-07-29T00:32:51.958-04:00Here's why I didn't like this book. It...Here's why I didn't like this book. It's full of retro, Betty Crocker era recipes that are high in fat and cholesterol. Plus, many of the recipes can be found in church and community cookbooks from Bartlesville, Oklahoma. <br /><br />The book is filled with photos of cats, dogs, cattle and ranch scenes. Excuse me, but I don't need that in a cookbook. Ask yourself, who needs recipes for burgers, sloppy joes and brownies. And who the hell makes apple dumplings with Mountain Dew? <br /><br />For any serious foodie this book would be an insult. Ree Drummond is not a cook, she's lifted most of these recipes from other sources and added a pinch of salt here, some pepper there and called the recipe her own. Given her current plagiarism scandal and the fact she won't even apologize to the offended party, I won't be buying this or any future cookbooks. This Pioneer Woman nonsense has gotten out of hand. <br /><br />I'll stick with The Marlboro Woman website. At least she/he actually keeps it real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
