Shumski follows his playful Will It Waffle?? with a more practical volume on the ten-inch cast-iron skillet. After a brief introduction to skillet care, Shumski shares 53 recipes for breakfasts, snacks, sides, mains, and desserts. Home cooks of all skill levels can handle Shumski's fun, mostly conventional dishes, which range from ultrasimple toast and grilled cheese sandwiches to more complex meals such as seafood paella and chicken potpie. Pastas, cakes, and chip-centric dishes (e.g., nachos, chilaquiles, dips) are well represented.
VERDICT Use this inexpensive cookbook to explore the stalwart skillet's versatility. For a more comprehensive take, try Cook's Country's Cook It in Cast Iron.
