We are thrilled to announce that The Best Cast Iron Baking book is now available!
If you follow us, you may already know that we love to bake. Just like many of you, we baked more when the pandemic started. We baked it all, cookies, cakes, pies, and Roxanne baked more artisan bread than she could count.
You might also know that we love to use cast iron skillets. Our cast iron cooking classes always sell out. We explain how to use cast iron and also the stories of cooks in our family who used our skillets and passed them down to us. Our skillets are truly filled with delicious foods, and overflow with precious memories.
Combining our love of baking with our dedication to cast iron skillets and Dutch ovens, is a dream come true. Writing this book and testing the recipes was a tasty journey of joy.
The Best Cast Iron Baking Book is filled with our favorite recipes. You will enjoy the Artisan, no knead breads that you can easily pop into a Dutch oven. Pizza and flat bread develop the most incredible, crisp crust when baked in a cast iron skillet. No breakfast or brunch table is complete without sweet rolls and coffee cakes. Many a family feast has to include inviting dinner rolls and buttery biscuits. Oh, wait, there are pies, cookies, brownies, and all kinds of desserts that are special and spectacular. For each, that simple cast iron skillet or Dutch oven is the only piece of bakeware you need to bake these delicious recipes.
You do not need to be an expert baker to start baking these recipes. And, if you shy away from cast iron, do not worry. We will share all of the tips and insider information so you can use your cast iron with confidence.
Have we mentioned the pictures? The book is filled with the most inviting, moutwatering pictures. Just browse through the book and you will discover lots and lots of recipes that you will want to bake immediately.
You will be hearing lots more about this cookbook soon. We just had to share the exiting news! We could not be prouder. It takes a village to write and publish a cookbook, and we are grateful to all who help pave the way. Most of all, we appreciate all of you who read our books, enjoy our recipes, take our classes and share a love of baking.
The book is available at any of your favorite book stores, and through many gourmet or kitchen shops. If you don’t find it on the shelf, ask if they will order it for you. You will also find it on Amazon and other online book retailers.
Just bought this book – and love it. Question: how long (if at all) can you leave uneaten portions in the cast iron skillet? Can it be stored in the fridge? Thanks.
Thanks for your support. We are delighted you like the book. We do not recommend storing food in cast iron skillets. Yes, we serve food from the skillet, and that is great. Just after dinner, when it is time to refrigerate the food, remove the food from the skillet and place the food in a covered refrigerator container. Then, you can wash the skillet and dry it well, which will preserve the wonderful, slick surface that cast iron has.
