I am an average cook, so I like easy recipes. This book definitely fits the bill. I plan to use it a lot with my new cast iron skillet.

An Iron Skillet Bible!:

This is not a 'big' book, but one that will keep you happily cooking in your cast iron skillet for years to come. Recipes for all seasons.
