Anderson’s Bookshop, Naperville, is delighted to welcome back Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Food Network television star. She’s an author, ranch wife, photographer, mother of four and an inspiration to her legion of fans! Now Drummond visits to celebrate her new cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy.

Drummond will be presenting her new book at Community Christian Church, 1635 Emerson Lane, Naperville, on Thursday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are required and exclusively available at ReeDrummondAndersons.eventcombo.com.

For this in-person event, masks are strictly required. This will be a presentation-only event with no opportunity to meet the author. This event is presented by Anderson’s Bookshop. This will be Drummond’s fifth Anderson’s Bookshop-sponsored appearance.

About the Book: Between my family, my website, my cookbooks, and my TV show, I make a lot of food around here! And as much as I’ve always loved cooking (and of course, eating!), it seems that more and more these days, I’m looking for ways to simplify my life in the kitchen. I find myself gravitating toward recipes that are delicious but don’t require a lot of prep or fuss, because they free me up to have more time (and energy) for other areas of my life. This also makes cooking less of a chore and more of a pleasure—exactly what cooking should be!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks—Super Easy! will free you up and transform your cooking life as well, with 120 recipes that range from effortless breakfasts to breezy skillet meals to speedy soups to ready-in-minutes Tex-Mex delights, so you’ll have lots of options for any given meal. Many recipes in this cookbook call for step-saving (and sanity-saving) shortcuts that will revolutionize the time you spend making meals for your family, and all of them are utterly scrumptious! I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this new generation of recipes, including Butter Pecan French Toast, Buffalo Chicken Totchos, Speedy Dumpling Soup, Broccoli-Cheese Stromboli (so great for kids!), and an entire section of pastas and grains, such as One-Pot Sausage Pasta and colorful and fresh Hawaiian Shrimp Bowls. You’ll find yummy meals such as Pepperoni Fried Rice, Chicken-Fried Steak Fingers, and ultra-tasty Chicken Curry in a Hurry . . . as well as assemble-in-the-baking-dish casseroles, throw-together sheet pan suppers, and simply decadent desserts such as Mug Cakes, Coconut Cream Pie, and Brownie S’Mores Bars that you’ll dream about.

There’s something for everyone in this cookbook, and not a single recipe, ingredient, or step is complicated or difficult. Now that’s the kind of cooking we can all get behind!
