Cookbook of the Month – January 2019

Since my Dad and his side of the family were born in the South, it’s understandable that cooking in cast iron cookware was introduced to me at a very young age. Grant you some pieces were too heavy for me to lift until I was older. Cast iron cookware has been all the rage for a number of years now and that means my Cookbook of the Month – January 2019 is a book I think you’d like to add to your library. Need help creating your own recipes then grab a copy of Lodge Cast Iron Nation to inspire you. I was inspired years ago.

While cast iron is nothing new in the culinary world, maybe it’s new to you. Some have expressed their fear of cooking in cookware this heavy and some have pieces passed down from family members. I remember oh too well my Granny having pieces on her stove. Also, my family went camping quite a bit and a cast iron Dutch oven and skillet were always present. There was even a cast iron sandwich maker we used to make jelly pies. That was so much fun and what a treat.

Cast iron transcends time and the people who have used it and joining both old and new generations of cooks. Each can serve up mouth-watering recipes passed down and share tales of days gone by. That’s the fun of sharing family recipes and adding a new twist on old favorites. if you happen to have pieces passed down from family and friends then you have an emotional connection especially the recipes that have been cooked in them.
