In a Garden & Gun interview, Ree Drummond shared her favorite cookbooks, saying, "I really love my friends' cookbooks: Gaby Dalkin, Maria Lichty, Deb Perelman, Joy Wilson."

Dalkin has five cookbooks filled with recipes of California-inspired cuisine, while Lichty's first cookbook, "Two Peas & Their Pod," shares kid-approved recipes from her kitchen.

Perelman has published three cookbooks, with "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook" and "Smitten Kitchen Keepers" earning spots on the NYT's bestsellers list.

Finally, Wilson's three cookbooks and magazine mostly revolve around baked goods, although "Over Easy" covers everything brunch.

However, Drummond also mentioned Ina Garten's book, saying, "In terms of a cookbook I really used, 'Barefoot Contessa Family Style' was an old favorite when the kids were little."
