Has some good recipes the one s I ve tried so far 9780553459661 Yes every recipe is made in a cast iron pan I do love my cast iron pans and I will be trying several of the recipes in this book These recipes are heavily influenced by overseas places The Middle East and India show up often That is fine but many of the recipes are totally unfamiliar to me and seem a bit scary That is ok I ll try a few and stick to those closer to my comfort level There are photos to help see what the recipe looks like My main beef is with the formatting Many recipes are 2 3 pages long not including the recipe This means I am flipping pages while preparing the food Not a fan of this 9780553459661 Lots of interesting recipes for your cast iron skillet My only qualm is that a lot of the recipes seem a bit fussy or require special ingredients Some yummy stuff in here though 9780553459661 Some intriguing ideas but overall too many exotic ingredients I don t normally keep in my cupboard or want to purchase for one recipe Also some recipes are complicated by needing to make two or three other recipes sometimes days in advance before tackling the main one 9780553459661 Pretty cookbook with some great recipes But if you don t live in either CA USA or a large city with a large health food presents you ll have problems finding some of ingredients 9780553459661

That being said this is a beautifully put together cookbook photos of most of the recipes many directional photos for recipes also a story behind each recipe High quality hard cover and page paper this would be a perfect gift for a cook especially one that enjoys using cast iron cookware. I am very happy I won and finally received this book am going to be happier trying out the recipes like Spiced Butternut Squash Biscuits and Whole Wheat Sticky Buns 9780553459661 It took a very long time to receive this after winning it in the Goodreads Giveaway It came via UPS on January 4th 2017 Goodreads took offense over my first review I would bet actual money that someone complained which truth be told was my intention claiming that it was not based on the work but on the fact that I had not received it at all I would argue that writing a book is only a small part of what it is to be a writer and that following up on the people who have had promotion delegated to them is also the writer s responsibility It is all part of the work: That being said I will peruse this title try out a few recipes and return with an honest review 9780553459661
