What's the most versatile pan in your kitchen? It cooks up the most mouthwatering buttermilk fried chicken, it does double-duty with a Swiss cheese and apple frittata (starts on the stove top and finishes in the oven), and its raspberry-blackberry crisp is a textural delight. Cast iron cookware is a jack-of-all-trades: holding heat evenly, lasting virtually forever, and providing a unique cooking surface that improves with age. This handy recipe book includes some history about cast iron cooking in America with timeless dishes, such as Mammy Lape's roast beef, mom's mac and cheese with bacon, cast iron cornbread, and favorites from the early twentieth century, like Aunt Ellen's oyster pie and Swiss steak. Recipes are organized by meal: lunch, veg, main courses, meat, seafood, desserts and stocks too. Also includes information about how to clean, care for and season your cookware and keep it in tip-top shape. Cast iron cookware can make delicious food for generations. This book shows you how. | Skyhorse Publishing Cast Iron Cookbook
