Amateur and experienced chefs alike will enjoy this collection of 150 recipes for your cast iron skillet.

Cast iron skillets are booming in popularity: they’re versatile, they’re relatively inexpensive, and they don't have the toxic chemicals released by artificial nonstick pans. Though cast iron was the only pan in grandma’s kitchen, these 150 recipes are fresh and updated. They range from traditional skillet favorites, like Seared Chicken Hash, Spanish Potato and Sausage Tortilla, and pan-seared steaks and chops, to surprising dishes like cornbread with an Italian spin; quesadillas filled with brie, papaya, and pineapple; and a gingerbread cake topped with fresh pears. 

The New Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook is . . . a damn fine work that’s at once a treatise, chronicle, and paean to perhaps the most versatile tool in a cook’s arsenal. . . . I promise you, with this book your cast iron skillet will never again leave the top of your stove. It’s that good.” —David Leite, publisher of the two-time James Beard Award-winning website Leite’s Culinaria (LCcooks.com)

“Ellen Brown is like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet—both continue to improve with age. Ellen has compiled a scrumptious collection of original and heirloom recipes for America’s favorite cooking utensil. Great cookbooks and great skillets last forever. Fortunate are those who buy or inherit both.” —Irena Chalmers, author of Food Jobs 2: Ideas and Inspiration for Your Job Hunt

“This is one of those rare, beautiful cookbooks you’ll actually use. In fact, I'd venture to guess that you’ll likely be compelled to open it daily—or at least every time you draw up a grocery list—and that your trusty skillet will soon settle in to a most convenient storage spot: the stovetop.” —Liana Krissoff, author of Canning for a New Generation
