Cast Iron Christmas

November 14, 2018 1:32 PM

My other brother wants a cast iron cook book. The best cast iron cookbook. Emphasis on versatility, technique, and convenience. I'm picturing a cookbook that tells you how to sear a perfect steak rather than something that has one recipe for steak au poivre in mushroom cream sauce that takes 10 specialized ingredients and takes 3 hours to complete. Great pictures is a bonus.

Best answer: I'd go with Cook It in Cast Iron from Cook's Country/America's Test Kitchen.

A cast iron cookbook would be very heavy to lift. (sorry, could not resist....)
