This book works for great for a beginner and an advance cast-iron cook. The first part of the book introduces you to how to care and use your cast-iron then comes the great recipes from breakfast to dessert this cookbook will give you a recipe for every meal.
Let me just say the biscuit recipe alone is totally worth the kindle price that is how amazing they were. I am not a newbie to cast-iron and have backed several different recipes of biscuits in my cast-iron but nothing like the amazing taste of these.
Recipes are easy to follow the only downside to the books was it just needed more pictures of the finished products.
I don't have a cast iron skillet but my mom did for years. My brother inherited it from her and still uses it.
ReplyDeleteYou would be amazed the taste difference you get from them compared to other types skillets, it so much better.
