Home on the range: Ree Drummond
mixes old favorites with new recipes
By Andrew Warren

H
istory is all around us, even
in our food. So much of
what we eat is rooted in the
past, from classic pairings to
traditional dishes only served
on holidays. The stories behind
them are part of what makes
many foods so great, but, of
course, that appreciation for
history has to be tempered by
our modern sensibilities and
tastes.
You’d struggle to find
anyone who appreciates that
blend of old and new better
than Food Network’s “The Pio-
neer Woman” host Ree Drum-
mond. The food writer has
built her entire career out of
combining her hip urban roots
with her current rural ranch life,
and in this week’s episode, she
brings the past and the present
together to celebrate the his-
tory of her husband’s family.
The Drummond family’s his-
toric home is a museum these
days, and in the episode airing
Saturday, Feb. 23, Ree decides
to make a special meal for the
museum’s curator, Beverly. She
digs out some recipes from the
home’s original owner, Addie
Drummond, and throws in a
few of her own modern dishes
to make something that blends
the historic Drummonds with
the modern ones.
So what’s on the menu for
Beverly to enjoy? Well, there’s
an old-fashioned chicken stew
served with freshly baked
brown bread. To drink, Ree
whips up a refreshing grape
lemonade, and for dessert, a
stunning raspberry cream cake
is ready to be enjoyed.
Of course, “The Pioneer
Woman” isn’t only about the
food — it’s just as much about
the host’s life in rural Oklaho-
ma. With their stomachs filled
to bursting, Beverly takes Ree
on a tour of the house, showing
off its artifacts and treasures
and sharing stories about what
life would have been like on
the ranch back in the olden
days.
Of course, “The Pioneer
Woman” is just one piece of
the host’s culinary and lifestyle
kingdom. Drummond got her
start as a blogger, sharing her
experiences with ranch life and
all that goes with it, and she’s
expanded her reach with cook-
books, children’s books and, of
course, her TV show.
“The Pioneer Woman”
woman airs Saturday mornings
on Food Network.
