Learn to cook it all in cast iron! The cast-iron skillet is a sturdy, versatile, traditional kitchen workhorse that 85% of us own but far fewer of us reach for daily, mostly because we have one or two recipes we use it for and otherwise it stays in the back of the cabinet. In this new cookbook, the editors of Cook's Country will show you everything you need to know about cast-iron cookware and the many (and often surprising) dishes you can cook and bake in this multitasker of a pan, from the classic dishes everyone knows and loves like steak, perfect fried eggs, and cornbread, to innovative and inspiring recipes like skillet apple pie, pizza, and cinnamon swirl bread. Learn about this cast iron's history and what makes it uniquely American and let us show you how to shop for, season, care for, and clean this perfect pan.

Part field guide to grilling and barbecuing and part cookbook, Master of the Grill features a wide variety of kitchen-tested recipes for meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, pizza, and more. These are the recipes everyone should know how to make— the juiciest burgers, barbecue chicken that’s moist not tough, tender grill-smoked pork ribs, the greatest steak (and grilled potatoes to serve alongside). Regional specialties are included, too—learn how to make Cowboy Steaks, Alabama BBQ Chicken, and Kansas City Sticky Ribs. Colorful photography captures the beauty of the recipes and step-by-step shots guide you through everything you need to know. A section on grilling essentials covers the pros and cons of gas and charcoal grills and which might be right for you, as well as the tools you’ll use with them— such as grill brushes, tongs, vegetable baskets, and wood chips and chunks.

Our all-new collection of gluten-free recipes features a new whole-grain flour blend, more than 50 dairy-free recipes, and nutritionals for every recipe. Building on the best-selling success of The How Can It Be Gluten- Free Cookbook, we’ve gone back into the test kitchen to expand our repertoire of revolutionary gluten-free recipes, including developing a whole-grain flour blend that brings earthy flavor to a variety of baked goods such as sandwich bread, waffles, rustic walnut-cherry boule, chai spice bread, sesame crackers, and a free-form rustic tart dough used to make a stunning pear and cranberry tart. Throughout there are recipes that use the test kitchen’s all-purpose flour blend, such as bagels, hamburger rolls, brioche, baguettes, and easy-to-make pan pizzas, as well as sweet treats like yeasted doughnuts, blondies, lemon layer cake, and Dutch apple pie. Also new to this book are nutritionals for every recipe and dairy-free versions of more than half the baked goods based on extensive testing done with alternative milks and yogurt and vegan cream cheese and butter. Innovative techniques and discoveries are explained throughout: a simple oven proofing method that helps gluten-free breads rise taller and more consistently, foil collars that ensure hamburger buns that are the right size, and a double-batter-ing and double-frying method for fried fish with a crispy gluten-free coating. From breakfast foods, grains, and comfort foods to a whole range of baked goods, this new volume delivers groundbreaking recipes plus information on the best gluten-free breads and pastas on the market today and an essential resource section that is a road map for cooking and baking without gluten.
