Y'all Eat Yet?: Welcome to the Pretty B*tchin' Kitchen
From country music sensation Miranda Lambert, comes a gorgeous cookbook sharing a wide array of tasty favorite recipes, straight outta Texas and collected from all the fabulous women who helped make Miranda who she is today.
If you’re going to have a Bitchin Kitchen, you’re going to need a few things—plenty of room, plenty of good food for sharing, high spirits (in both senses) and all the friends and family you can fit. For Miranda Lambert, a good time means sharing a great meal with the women who helped raise her back in Texas—her mom and a colorful bunch of best friends who could raise the roof, come through in a pinch, celebrate, cry, and really, really cook. Miranda Lambert invites readers into this special circle of sisterhood with collection of recipes and stories. Y’all Eat Yet? is full of recipes for meals that fill your belly, and your soul, food meant to be shared, meant to be eaten with your fingers off of paper plates, or on your fanciest antique China. Some were handed down to Miranda from her mom and grandma, some come from the circle of cherished friends who helped raise her, and all of them are meant to be easy to prepare and shared with those you love. True to Miranda’s personality, Y’all Eat Yet? is sassy and inviting. Whether she’s cooking up omelets in her tricked-out Airstream to serve with Mimosas or laying out the Whiskey cupcakes next to Nonny’s Banana pudding, Y’all Eat Yet? delivers food you want to make alongside charming stories that show just why Miranda Lambert is one of the most beloved artists in country music today.

Enjoyed this book bout her life & the people she loved. How important the ones you love shape you regardless of how much have or don’t. Being from the south- loved - simple fun recipes. Reminded me of simpler times that we tend to take for granted.

Loved the biography.

A lovely insight into some of Miranda’s childhood, and a great reminder to slow down - spend time and make memories with those you care about most.

Eh...if you think this is a cookbook by her, you're wrong. This is an autobiography with a couple of handfuls of other people's recipes. Don't waste your money unless that's your thing.

it’s okay
It’s well set up for kindle but the recipes are basic. I find sweet relish to taste like vomit so most of these the base recipe would be incredibly altered just changing it from sweet to regular pickle relish. But the other things are gonna be on the blander southern style or heavily rely on a singular seasoning one needs to invest in

I love Miranda’s grit and style. I enjoyed reading her stories of her childhood and how family and friendship
bonds are tied in with food and music. Food is healing, therapeutic, romance, love, etc., etc. and is best shared with others. I can’t wait to try out these recipes.

This book is a cookbook and a look into Miranda’s life. This is a very personal cookbook. The French toast casserole looks good.

I never received my copy so I have nothing to review, but it's impossible to leave zero stars.

Ya’ll Eat Yet? Welcome to the Pretty B*tchin’ Kitchen by Miranda Lambert (Dey St. 2023) (641.59764) (3927).
Miranda Lambert is a pretty country singer from an extended East Texas family of outdoor partiers and campfire sitters and singers. In other words, they sound like a lot of fun!
This is a collection of simple, quick, and easy go-to recipes to whip up when one finds himself unexpectedly hosting and feeding a hungry crowd.
Don’t expect to find haute cuisine in this book. Very few of these recipes are original creations. Many (if not most) of these recipes were lifted straight from the packaging that the ingredients came in (e.g. the banana pudding recipe from the back of the Nilla Vanilla Wafers box).
I couldn’t help but think that the author and her buddies probably had a blast creating this book. I imagined them all sitting around and day-drinking while brainstorming about tasty and easily-assembled crowd-feeding concoctions to include in this book. I’m pretty sure that the author and her pals sat around and howled with laughter as they got drunk and spurred each other into hysterics as they jogged one another’s memories of multi-day parties and everyday get-togethers.
Each chapter features pages of the author’s favorite party reminiscences and stories as well.
The book is light reading, and these recipes are mostly familiar Southern food prep shortcuts and hacks when a host is pressed for time. As long as the reader understands the book’s parameters, it is a pleasant and undemanding little volume.
My rating: 7/10, finished 4/6/24 (3927).

“There’s something about what happens when everyone sits down together. You’re grateful for what you have; you talk about what happened that day; you even talk about what you’re hoping will happen tomorrow. There’s no substitute for that. Why would you want one?”
Disclaimer: I don’t really enjoy country music. But I love food. I LOVE it. And I also love stories about the food people make, which this book is full of. I think I would classify this one as a food-oir - Part memoir part cookbook (I made that up.) I also absolutely love reading the stories about how people became who they are. I’ve always liked Miranda Lambert’s songs and personality. I couldn’t name a single song title of hers, but I know I could sing along to a few of them. I have a lot more respect for her after reading about the food and people that built her. What a touching tribute to the people closest to her.
I really appreciated the simplicity of her recipes made with the things we have on hand most of the time. There were no fancy ingredients…just really good food. This book was also filled with some very beautiful photography. Food photography is a huge favorite of mine (*missed career opportunity there. Thanks, High School Guidance Counselor*) and the pictures in this book are absolutely gorgeous. I’m excited to try some of these recipes.

I'm really on the fence about this book.
It's not really a cookbook, as I thought it was going to be.
It was about her family and friends who have this incredible bound around food. The stories that were told were fun to read but there was a lot of repetitiveness within the stories. I mean, I know she loves these women but at times it felted dragged out and the same thing over and over.
There are not any earth shattering recipes in here but also there aren't many recipes to pick from. I mean most of us don't make complicated recipes unless we get a new cookbook and want to try something but for most of us, it's the simple recipes that we make or that our family made over the years are the ones we want, crave and think about not 15 ingredient ones unless your family has a chef. My point is these the very few recipes shared are simple and they are ones her family makes on repeat just like the ones your family makes on repeat.

This book is half-cookbook, half-memoir about food and gatherings as shared by country music star Miranda Lambert. The book features stories about growing up in Texas, getting started in country music, life on the road, and more. It’s not so much about her sharing her own recipes, but more about what it has meant to her to get together as a group with friends and family and the food and drinks that have been personally meaningful to her on such occasions, whether from her grandmother, her mom, her mom’s friend group, or one of their close friends.
I enjoyed reading this book, even though I’m probably not the target audience. I liked reading about get-togethers and think it’s important at a time when it’s easy to feel isolated. I also liked reading about performing and the music industry, and some of the stuff we don’t see from the outside. I haven’t tried any recipes yet but some seem simple enough that I wouldn’t feel out of my depth, and maybe I can work up to the others.

I saw this while on my lunch break at the library and had to get it. Can you tell I was hungry? I actually did enjoy the cookbook + memoir genre and ended up making the tuna salad sandwiches (they came out great). Love that the recipes in here have a Texas flair. Deff want to try the banana pudding recipe.
Cookbooks also hold a special place in my heart because of how much my grandma loved cooking. Miranda’s Nonny reminds me so much of my Ma. Cooking was their love language, “Everything she cooked, you could taste the love.” 💗

There's not a ton of recipes in this cookbook, but there's some good ones, and a lot of stories from Miranda that are fun to read. She talks about the people close to her, how they formed her, and the food they ate at parties and get togethers which she shares in the book. Her get togethers sound fun, and she stresses simple over fancy. Kinda makes you want to have a party, which is the whole point.

I would not label this as a cookbook ! It is a memoir with a few recipes added for good luck, I guess.
The memoir with stories about Miranda Lambert is interesting and the recipes are mediocre but definitely not earth shattering !
Family photos were very nice touch and I enjoyed the stories she included about her childhood, but none of the recipes appealed to me and I won't be trying any of them any time soon !

This is properly speaking much more a set of memoirs with recipes interspersed. And perhaps should have been marketed as such.
Neicy's Gumbo
Creamy Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Root Vegetable Winter Salad
Honey-Glazed Carrots
Rum Balls
Peanut Butter Pie
French Toast Casserole
Miss Ohio
How to properly season cast iron by Rick Lambert pages 58-61 is an excellent guide for the uninitiated.

A cookbook "written" as if Cool Whip is one of the 5 major food groups. Self-described "white-trash ho" who brags about fightin', drinkin' and tattooin'. Part biography (I guess?) and the other part is some recipes from people in her family. If you're looking for a cookbook of southern food, this kitchen is mostly just bitchin'. Oh girly, please.

This compilation of family, stories, and recipes reminds me of Reese Witherspoon's Whiskey in a Teacup. I enjoyed the stories shared of the women Miranda grew up with and surrounded by that lifted her up and helped mold her into the successful person she is. It's very uplifting and positive. The recipes are very simple and great for beginning cooks who may be intimidated by more complex recipes.

I’m critical of cookbooks I guess. If the point of your cookbook was first to tell stories and second to share recipes, you should’ve just written a memoir. Sorry not sorry, but this is not the first cookbook I’ve borrowed that was written for the wrong purpose. I marked 7 recipes out of the huge book and that’s it.

I always knew we could be friends
I've always felt a connection to Miranda Lambert and her music. The love comes through in her stories and even the recipes she shares. I feel like she's made a Bluebird and we've spent a few hours catching up on each other's lives
Oh! And she shares recipes too! LOL

Y'all Eat Yet? is a book of family, food, and fun. Miranda Lambert discusses her childhood and the strong women who raised her. She also shares some of her family's recipes for you to try.
This is a wonderful memoir and cookbook in one.
Thank you to #goodreads, #MirandaLambert, and #WilliamMorrow for a copy of this book.

Who doesn't want to have a kick-ass group of great friends to share great food with?
I loved all the stories about each member of the squad and memories of Miranda's nan.
The recipes all look great and easy to prepare.

This is like an autobiography/ cookbook.There's a dash of recipes thrown in but they are pretty basic and ones you can't eat daily especially with a family. They're more for holidays and parties (desserts and snack foods). I was able to snag this on sale but I wouldn't pay full price.
August 26, 2023
I would love to be a part of Miranda's family! They sound like so much fun and down to earth. The recipes all sound delicious and not so complicated. Her stories that go along are enduring and relateable.

Have Fun with Your People
My favorite line from the book. More than recipes. It’s a reminder of how to live, have fun and enjoy your people. Share laughter, sadness and food. Use your good china and silver and crystal. Really live and don’t be afraid to have fun.

It’s not much of a cookbook. It’s more a biography with writer Holly Gleason responsible for the content. The recipes are very simple and nothing you haven’t seen in other books. If you’re a Miranda Lambert, you might enjoy this. It just feels like a “celebrity cookbook” cash grab.
