Cast Iron Cooking

Summary: good stuff!
Review: Livingston is fun to read - an ol' guy with down-to-earth smarts who has an appreciation for the subtle humor this subject offers, and a gift for phrasing it - you can tell you'd like to have him for a friend.
but not as much info on using cast iron cookware on a daily basis as i'd like - lotsa outdoor stuff, backwoods cookery, etc.

Summary: Get the most from your cast-iron cookware
Review: Mr. Livingston does an admirable job of explaining how to use and care for your cast-iron cookware. Whether using a skillet to scramble a few eggs for breakfast, or preparing for a LARGE crowd in a special piece of cookware, this book covers all the bases. If you've never used cast-iron cookware, this is a good introduction to the subject-- cast-iron cookware is different from the other products on the market. If you are a cast-iron afficionado, this "sermon for the choir" will give you some new ideas for good things to do with your treasured skillets and dutch ovens. Warning: the recipes are not all low-fat, low cholesterol, trendy, 90s kind of recipes. They are, however, good! This book would make a great add-on gift with a cast-iron skillet
