"Cast-iron cooking may be the wave of the past, but A. D. Livingston has brought it back to the future. This book’s a dandy, packed with great information and criminally delicious recipes, all well sprinkled with Livingston’s peppery wit. So long, wimpy pots and Teflon skillets! Cast iron is back!”
—Patrick McManus, author of The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw


“A kitchen without cast iron is like a schooner without sails. A. D. Livingston has got his ‘old black magic’ down to an art—a simmering, aromatic art.”
—John Egerton, author of Southern Food
