Gorgeous cookbook to be used with Staub cookware. The recipes look delicious and decadent. The ingredients are readily available and the instructions are easy-to-follow. The photography is stunning! I can't wait to create these dishes. This book would be a wonderful gift, especially if accompanied with a Staub dish!

After reading this book, I realize that I really, really want/need more cast iron cookware -- preferably Staub! The variety of recipes in this cookbook is amazing!

I have not yet tried to actually cook any of the recipes, but I enjoyed the variety and think they were all interesting recipes to try. It was written clearly and concisely which I appreciate in a cookbook and I feel that it will be easy to replicate in my kitchen, I just need the time now to cook.

French chef Paul Bucose created the first Staub cocotte (French oven) in 1974, and it's one of my favorite pieces of cookware. The Staub Cookbook: Modern Recipes for Classic Cast Iron showcases amazing recipes and innovative ways to use the brands cookware with history behind the brand, the types of cookware it makes, how it's made, and also proper care. I spent one month cooking my way through the Staub Cookbook, and the results of the recipes were delectable. It was such a pleasure to have a glass of wine, and decide which recipes to indulge in. The recipes that I created were from each chapter and they include: the Kale Shakshuka with Garlic, Feta, and Lemon from North Africa, the Vanilla Bean Old-Fashioned Donuts, Grilled Carrots with Bagna Cauda (hot bath in Italian), Leek, Parmesan, and Hazelnut Gratin, Pork Ragout with Pappardelle, Chicken Pot Pie with Phyllo Dough, and Grilled Bone-In Ribeye topped with Shallot Compote and Watercress. The recipes were all amazing, and I discovered so many new vegetable recipes that bring out the freshness and the flavors. Do not be intimidated if you do not have every piece of Staub cookware. Many of the recipes can be made in a cast iron skillet or another pan if you do not have the pieces mentioned. Wonderful cookbook full of crowd-pleasing dishes!

I own a Staub fry pan that I adore more than any piece of kitchenware in my kitchen. Durable, versatile, and gets the job done every time. The breadth of recipes is great as is the accompanying pictures. I can't wait to try a few of these in my pan.

Using Staub cast-iron cookware, this beautiful cookbook has great recipes from Gratins to Breads, a Toasty Honey Corn Loaf, Artichokes a la Barigoule, Wild Mushroom Lasagna, and Broccoli Rabe Pizza. Also information on the care and use of Staub products. Beautiful photographs.

The Staub Cookbook is a very comprehensive cookbook if you are new to cooking with iron cookware. It describes the history and making of Staub cookware in France and how to begin to cook with this wonderful cookware. There are several chapters on how to take care of the cookware and the concepts important to it's use.
I read this book yesterday and actually tried a recipe last night that was really quite good. I felt the timing was off in the recipe, but as long as you keep those things in mind, the recipe was very good. I am looking forward to trying another this weekend. I was fascinated about the breads and sweetbreads that were recommended in the cookbook. I would buy this book with a piece of Staub Cookware for a newly married couple as a wedding present, or a new grad. The cookware is a workhorse and versatile for all. The cookbook looks like a great place to begin. A solid four stars.

I love cooking in my cast iron, so I was excited to get my hands on this book and see if there were any new ideas for me. This book goes beyond the typical proteins and pizzas and includes some interesting-looking recipes for a variety of kinds of dishes, many with French influences. I was particularly drawn to the sides and salads section: I've already made the grilled romaine with lemon and parmesan and the Artichokes à la Barigoule. Both were delicious. I'm looking forward to the publication so I can have this one in print.

The love I have for my red cast-iron pan has finally been expressed in book form. I wasn't familiar with Staub -- now I want a kitchen full of Staub -- and it was interesting to read about it; it's even used for ice cream (what?!). The recipes are so exciting for me (although I feel like I need to invest in some Staub-ware) like apple puffed pancake (first on my list for tomorrow morning) and ones I'd never think to try. Although I'm not a very creative cook, so no surprise there. I'd never think to bake bread rolls, cakes, or make risotto, This is a great resource for those who love cast-iron cooking. And need to expand recipes beyond steaks and pizza.
