Frying and sautéing steaks, fish, and other foods in a skillet may seem like a simple procedure, but with a careful eye to the different techniques, one can easily make a dish go from ordinary to extraordinary. In Mastering the Skillet, A. D. Livingston demonstrates that if you enjoy good eating and take pleasure in your cooking, a skillet may be the only pan you need.

With chapters on: * Skilletmanship * Beef and pork * Burgers * Poultry and fowl * Venison and game * Fish and shellfish * Skillet vegetables * Skillet breads * Breakfasts * Skillet gravy * Cast-Iron Skillet Specialties Featuring more than 150 delicious recipes—with complete, easy-to-follow cooking instructions for such treats as Sumac Trout, Cross Creek Crackling Bread, Versatile Venison Burgers, Steaks Cognac, and Sopchoppy Pancakes—A.D. Livingston’s Mastering the Skillet is ideal for both novice and advanced chefs.

"Cast-iron cooking may be the wave of the past, but A. D. Livingston has brought it back to the future. This book's a dandy, packed with great information and criminally delicious recipes, all well sprinkled with Livingston's peppery wit. So long, wimpy pots and Teflon skillets! Cast iron is back!"—Patrick McManus, author of The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw"A kitchen without cast iron is like a schooner without sails. A. D. Livingston has got his 'old black magic' down to an art—a simmering, aromatic art."—John Egerton, author of Southern Food
