3 out of 5 stars Ok, but Lodge could do better   February 25, 2010
Shelly (Pennsylvania)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is an ok little book for the money - but Lodge could do much better. I truly wish they would put out a hefty cookbook along the lines of the 5 ring Better Homes and Gardens, with sections for various food groups and maybe sections for specialty pans and the care and feeding of cast iron. This one, along with the few other Lodge cookbooks I have seen, is pretty skimpy.

I love my Lodge cookware and have cooked everything from replicas of $100 a head gourmet filet and giant prawn dinners to down home southern fried chicken and meat loaf in my Lodge pans. I KNOW there are a ton of recipes out there suited to cast iron cooking.

Lodge knows how to make a quality product and is a great American Company - and Better Homes and Gardens knows how to put together a great cookbook. The two could create an awesome cookbook if they got together. Join me, Lodge fans? Write or email Lodge and let them know we would like to have a cookbook that matches the quality of their cookware - and one geared to the home cook with a wide variety of tastes!



2 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for someone.   March 18, 2010
John H. Lochaby (Ft. Worth, Texas)
I am sure some folks will find this book a real treasure, but it did not fit my purpose. I was looking for recipes that I could actually cook. I got a lot of history and puff...and some famous regional dishes that are just not practical for my day to day living.

If I have not tossed it already, I will "gift" to someone as a throw down.

Lodge (and I have a lot of the great Lodge Cast Iron cookware) may have supported this effort, but they did not get their money's worth.
