Nice Kitchen, Pioneer Woman
[Photograph: The Los Angeles Times]
The Los Angeles Times has a great profile on Internet sensation Ree Drummond. You may know her as The Pioneer Woman, whose group of sites—including The Pioneer Woman Cooks—feature witty writing and stunning photography. PWC, for instance, is full of recipes that you can almost follow by peeping the pix alone. While we at SE once drooled at the photos on her cooking site, we're now agog at the kitchen she shoots them in. Look at that thing!

I have been a huge fan of Pioneer Woman for a long time and keep entering her contests to try to snag a visit for my sister and I. And we have made many of her recipes -- with great success. Maybe someday we win a visit -- I can dream.

I'd trade the upper floor of my house for her kitchen...

I love Ree

I'd trade my entire house for her kitchen!

Thank you Adam and Ed and my SE buddies!
In the interest of full disclosure, this is the kitchen at our guest house on the ranch. I do a lot of my website cooking there, but I also do a lot at my own house. The point is, if the L.A. Times had taken photos of my regular kitchen, they would have run screaming from the house. Smushed Apple Jacks, chocolate smudges all over the fridge, muddy cowboy boots, and various action figures littering the floor. Not to mention the bottles of livestock vaccines, scraps for the dogs, and various dirty pots and pans. It ain't a pretty site.
(Also keep in mind that space in Oklahoma is a little different than it is in NYC. No one wants to live here, so we can spread out all we want!)

I love her!!! And my god, that kitchen has me drooling. What a dream. I don't think I'd ever want to leave.
I was on her website last night actually. I had a little free time and decided to go on. I see that she is going to have a cookbook available which drops in October. That will probably be the next addition. :)
Keep up the beautiful/delicious work!

@thepioneerwoman: Yeah. I grew up in Kansas (the outer Kansas City 'burbs); space there, too, is easy. Probably not as easy as on wide-open OK cattle ranch. Oh, yeah, I had heard you had redone the kitchen at your guest house to be more accommodating of your website stuff? Nice.

Having a great working kitchen is a great thing I know when I finally planned and built mine I felt like the shizz. I love Ree's writing and photos but one day her and I need to talk about her italian food.

Haha, my apartment could also easily fit into the Lodge kitchen! : )
Seriously, though: What a well thought out space, and it gets great light. I adore the deep, wide sink and the hardwood flooring.

My problem with a kitchen that big is that when you have all that space (and the pantry, too!), you fill it up. I've always been a "less is more" kinda gal and I'm trying to downsize what I have.

Love her!

Oh, I want my old kitchen back! My studio apartment is smaller than Ree's kitchen! Last place I lived I had a real 'working' kitchen and I cooked all the time. With no counters you can't roll sushi, cook fantastic curries or even roast a decent turkey breast! Don't even talk about cutting veggies. I have a galley kitchen now and rarely cook in it. But when I do I use every inch of counter space and all four burners on the stove! Plus both oven racks. But since I am only one, why would I need a big kitchen?

I love her sight. I have been following it almost from the begining. I read it pretty much every day. I have been amazed to see how the number of commenters have grown. When I first started reading it there would be less than 100 comments to a post -- usually far less. If she had a "name that picture" contest their might be a few hundred entries. Now when she has a contest there are usually more than 10,000 entries. It has grown in popularity so quickly!

Love her. Love the ranch. Want to go. When Deb from Smitten Kitchen visited her ranch and they gave cooking classes together my mind almost exploded with blogger girl crush! If you guys want me to come over next time I totally will!

Get a load of that sink! Woowee! Love her, too! I know it's already been said, but literally, two of my Brooklyn apartments could fit in that guest house kitchen! A fellow relocated midwestern girl can dream, though. One day...

Does anyone else want to see the real kitchen? Not to be a total voyeur, but I'd be more impressed to see how real life mixes with the stunning cooking photos. We're not LA times, we won't judge! Then I'd think there's hope for me yet...
