Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review Cast Iron Skillet One-Pan Meals. I believe every kitchen is not complete without a cast iron pan, and this is an awesome cookbook for great recipes. Taking care of the cast iron is the biggest hurdle for me personally from regularly cooking with one and this book gives instructions on how to take care of it. I loved the variety of recipes from Orzo Paella, Seared Duck Breast, Cheeseburger Macaroni, and frittata. I like how the book is divided by the type of protein with a plethora of recipes. I would buy this book for myself or a friend!

The author's voice is authoritative, but approachable and entertaining leaving the reader feeling led to success instead of overwhelmed or inept like they might have before reading. Many of the recipes sound yummy and definitely doable! My opinions are wholly my own, but I did receive access via Netgalley.

I love my cast iron pans and use them daily. This is a nice cookbook for cooks who know their way around the kitchen and are looking for relatively simple but still high end meals.

On the plus side, there’s a big color photo for nearly every recipe. Many of the recipes sound and look tasty. There’s also a nice variety of comfort, international and other styles of dishes. Freeman tells you how to take care of your pan too. I also appreciate the recipes all call for real food ingredients— not a can of cream of something soup in the lot.

On the downside, there is no nutritional information. Most of the recipes are high in animal products and not the healthiest. There’s a lot of stuff like heavy cream. These certainly aren’t diet dishes and I hope you’re all working in the fields to burn them off and serving them with a giant salad. There’s also a lot of wheat, carbs and sugar, even though these are all savory recipes. Since my husband and I are clean keto, some of our family is vegetarian, and most of our family is gluten free, these recipes were all vague inspiration at best for my kitchen.

All that said, it’ll be a great fit for many. If you want some relatively fancy but still doable dinner ideas, this could be a nice resource.

I read a digital version of this book for review.

I was so pleased to receive the chance to read this cookbook, especially because the recipes included in it seemed very simple and easy to make. I was immediately drawn to this book based on the fact that all of the recipes in it can be made in a cast iron skillet (in a single pan), which is perfect for those of us who sometimes have limited time to make a meal for ourselves and our family members. Although these recipes were generally very simple, they were not boring at all; I found them to be very original and I definitely saw some recipes that I have never seen/heard of before. After reading this cookbook, I was so excited to actually make the meals featured in it. The pictures included in the cookbook were so enticing and made the one pan meals look so delicious and realistic. I would highly recommend this cookbook not only to beginners but to expert cooks too, as well as parents and those of us who do not always have the time to cook an entire meal during the day.

Some good info for care and techniques for cast iron cookware. Recipes seem pretty rich at first glance. Not a good option for someone hoping for more plant-based or vegan recipes.

Cast iron cookware is a classic kitchen staple, one that probably brings to mind fried chicken and Sunday family dinners, but “Cast Iron Skillet One-Pan Meals” is anything but traditional. With a whole meal in one pan and lots of elevated recipes, this cookbook will have you reaching for your cast iron skillet again and again.

I have to admit that I have a cast iron skillet that’s never been used because I thought the whole process was intimidating, so I found the section about proper seasoning and caring for cast iron cookware to be worth the entire price of the cookbook. But even if you’re a cast iron pro, you’re going to find a lot of tasty new recipes to try. Divided by fish, beef, pork, poultry, and vegetarian dishes, there’s something for everyone’s palate. The flavor combinations are modern and inventive, and although there’s no nutritional information, a lot of the recipes seem surprisingly healthful. Many but not all of the recipes are accompanied by delicious-looking photos, and I wish there were even more of them.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sasquatch Books for providing me an advance copy of this book.

Cast Iron Skillet One-Pan Meals contains clear and concise instructions for seasoning and using a cast iron pan. I really appreciated that since I received a cast iron pan for Christmas that I have yet to use.

The book also contains recipes spanning the globe from Thailand to Africa. The recipes are clearly written for a bigger foodie than I am. Most contain at least fifteen ingredients. Sixteen ingredients for pork ramen seems a bit intimidating to me. However, the cooking process is relatively straightforward though and should be doable by relatively new chefs.

Unfortunately, neither nutritional nor allergen information is included. And many of the recipes could be cooked in any fry pan. Though some must be finished in the oven so an oven proof skillet or Dutch oven would be necessary.

If you are trying to impress your mother-in-law with your cooking skills, Cast Iron Skillet One-Pan Meals is the perfect cookbook. But if you just want a meal on the table, it may be a bit too fancy for a weeknight. 3 stars.

Thanks to Sasquatch Books and NetGalley for a digital review copy of the book.

Includes everyday recipes including traditional with a twist and some game changers like clam and bacon pizza. The author shares that this may not be your traditional red sauce pizza but I think it could become a favorite for my family.
Pictures are included of many of the recipes which is one of my measures on a good cookbook.

“One pan to rule them all. One meal to feed.
The cast iron skillet is the most versatile pan in the kitchen, one that is universally beloved by home cooks and chefs alike. And there’s nothing more convenient than being able to create an entire meal in one pan! Here you’ll find a range of recipes for every taste and cooking skill level, organized by protein. Whether it’s a regular weeknight meal, a celebratory dinner, or a cookout in the backyard, you’ll find something to please every eater in your life.”

I didn’t need a cookbook to tell me my cast iron skillet was the most prized item in my kitchen. Honestly, it rarely leaves my stovetop.

This was a really nice collection of recipes, though. I particularly liked the Glazed Salmon with Black-Eyed Peas (perfect for New Year’s Day), the Three-Bean Tamale Pie, and the Edamame Ginger Rice with Chicken.

My only complaint? Where’s the berry crumble? The Mint Chocolate brownie? The Skillet Cookie? A cookbook just isn’t a cookbook without a dessert section.

Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

2 tbsp ground flax
1/4 c milk or substitute
½ c coconut oil, melted
¼ c nut butter
1 c coconut sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 ½ c almond flour

Spread dough evenly, with a fork
Bake at 350* for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden

You’re welcome.

75 family-friendly one pan recipes to make in your cast iron. The book is very pretty and the photos are mouthwatering! I haven’t tried the recipes yet but they look very good! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I loved the author of this book. She gave no nonsense help with a bit of attitude. She knew her stuff and while it was 'in-jest' it was also serious. I would recommend this book on the taking care of cast iron section alone. A lot of the recipes sounded good, but I would have to buy several things to do one recipe. In my experience, I buy them and then forget which recipe I purchased the ingredients for.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Great recipes and photography in this well rounded cookbook. Add this to your collection or gift to someone who loves one skillet meals and cast-iron cooking. I’ve already tried a few of the recipes and they were delicious. Well done!

This is a great resource that includes not only amazing recipes for the cast iron pan but detailed information for care and seasoning of the pan itself, often the stumbling block for many people.

Recipes are delicious and achievable for even the most novice of cooks and ingredients are available at most well-stocked grocery stores..

Many thanks to Netgalley and Sasquatch Books for this advance copy of such an amazing and versatile book.

I really loved these recipes. Nice variety of recipes and so delicious!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Cooking in my cast iron is my FAVORITE thing to do. This was a fun and informative cookbook that introduced this seasoned (pun intended) cast iron cook to a few new ideas. The best part? Even the newbies shouldn't fear. The author does an excellent breakdown on the proper care of cast iron - and it's not hard, I promise!

Thank you to Sasquatch Publishing and NetGalley for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book made me glad I owned a cast-iron pan (a wedding gift) and had a wife who took good care of it, as the author made me want to try out lots of new recipes. This book is gorgeously illustrated and written with a sly sense of humor that makes reading through the recipes a pleasure. Here are a few things I learned:
1) NEVER put your cast-iron skillet in the dishwasher (or the author will come to your home and dress you down).
2) Cast-iron maintains and evenly distributes heat, so once it's hot, you can leave your temperature at or below medium.
3) You can clean odors out of your pan by baking it at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
4) Cast-iron is great for a dish that starts on the stovetop then bakes in the oven.
5) An online cookbook on an iPad is a joy in comparison to looking up a recipe online and having to fight off a dozen pop-ups to get to and through the recipe.
6) You can make pizza in your cast-iron skillet!
7) You can brown things then bake them in your cast-iron skillet.
8) You can make chili on the stovetop then bake biscuits on top of the chili in your cast-iron skillet.

I admit I have not yet made any of these recipes, so for now I am just taking the author's word for all of this, but she writes really well and has a trust-worthy style, so I'm betting this is all true. I can't wait to find out!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Sasquatch Books for providing me with an advance copy of this delicious-looking collection of reasons to love my cast-iron skillet.

A really nice grouping of recipes and an in-depth tutorial on how to season, use, and clean your cast iron pans correctly.

There are lovely pictures, and nicely detailed instructions for each recipe.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

For someone who has been overly self-aware lately of just how much I have been underutilizing my own beloved cast iron, this cookbook quickly proved to be quite a joy. There’s a great variety of tasty-looking meals to be found here, all easily preparable in just one particular kitchen implement that occasionally needs a bit of seasoning. It’s the perfect cookbook for those looking to both try some new recipes and also unlock their cast iron’s potential even further.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a nice recipe book!

There's a variety of dinner recipes in this book from seafood to chicken. The book includes instructions on how to prep and care for your cast iron. I was hoping for more photos of finishes recipes since I like to see those in recipe books. Some of the recipes are also a bit time consuming, but overall this is a thorough guide to cooking with cast iron.

This is a great cookbook for learning how to use and care for a cast iron pan, and all the delicious things you can cook in it. There's a whole chapter on meatless meals, plus fish, poultry, beef, and pork. A little surprised there are no desserts, but the 75 recipes all sound fantastic, so, that's okay.

Most recipes have photos, but not every single one. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
