I have been an avid user of cast iron for two decades and have used a variety of pots/skillets/dutch ovens/griddles for cooking darn near everything. I've used them for everything from cooking trout over a camp fire to making gourmet sauces for special occasions.
This is the first book I have seen devoted to the wonder of cast iron. But that's not what makes it such a great cook book.
The recipes are simple, filling and very good. Everything I have made so far has been a hit with my kids and hasn't left a huge mess of my kitchen. The skillet comes full from the oven or stove, goes straight to the table, and leaves empty. Many recipes can be finished easily in the short amount of time most of us have between arrriving home from work and when kids start howling with hunger. For those recipes that don't, I have made them one night and heated them through the next with great results.
I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to serve good food easily. That it comes from cast iron is an extra benefit!

This cookbook is awesome. I needed to replace my old non-stick cookware and decided to buy cast iron cookware. AND of course I needed a cookbook for cast iron cooking. This cookbook has so many great receipes, everyone of the receipes sounds mouth watering delicious. I have already tried several recipes from this cookbook, and my family loves them. I'm so glad I switched to cast irson, everything tastes great in cast iron.

Very good cookbook, I like that it provides very clear instruction on what types/size f pot to use. As someone who is learning to use cast iron for cooking I found this to be one of the best books avaliable.

There are some really great recipes in this book. I have been trying many of them. I recently bought a cast iron skillet and a dutch oven from Lodge cookware and my family has been enjoying many new meals.
I also recommend the book "A Skillet Full" available here too.

The book provided exellent recipies that guys can use for outdoor "grilling" on a double burner instead of the typical charcole method.

This is the most useful cookbook I have ever purchased. Good, homecooked recipes. My country husband loves the fact that his city wife is picking up on country cooking. I never knew there were so many ways to make biscuits!

Bought this cookbook for my father who is an amazing cook and was looking for a skillet cookbook. He was impressed with the recipes and cannot wait to use his skillet to cook in the fall/winter. Wonderful book. would reccommend

This book is wonderful. I use it weekly and have given it as a gift many times.

It has some really wonderful recipes in this cook book. I have gone back to using cast iron skillets instead of the so called non stick stuff. And am so glad that I did. The recipe book has some delicious recipes that everyone would love. Truly good Old fashioned cooking!
