Cast Iron for Two: 50 Healthy Two-Serving Cast Iron Recipes (Small Batch Recipe Books)

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Cooking for two can be challenging, but with a cast iron skillet, you can prepare healthy meals in no time!
Make cooking for two fun and delicious with these 50 creative and memorable recipes for two-servings designed for cast iron cookware.

The cast iron skillet is a perfect cooking companion for a household of two. And as it’s also one of the sturdiest of man’s kitchen inventions, the one you have now could be with you through your whole life and hand down to your children!

With cast iron’s strong heat retention and ability to distribute this heat evenly, you get ultimate flavors. It’s healthier, too: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet has a protective film that makes it naturally non-stick, which means you’ll need less oil to prepare your dishes. It does without the chemical linings used on modern non-stick pans and can supply the iron you need, without reaching dangerous levels.

You can sauté, sear, braise, fry, and bake in a cast iron skillet. Your cast iron pan can actually take the place of a Dutch oven, clay pot, baking pan or casserole dish. It’s especially convenient because you can go from the stovetop to the oven without needing a separate frying pan or saucepan and a baking pan. That will save you time and reduce cleanup afterward.

Inside, you’ll find 50 healthy and delicious two-serving recipes for all the meals of a day:
• Breakfast, snacks, sides & appetizers recipes such as the Garlic-Pepperoni Knots and the Unsweetened Skillet Cornbread
• Bountiful chicken and poultry recipes such as the Honey-Dijon Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and the Cornish Hens with Apples
• Wholesome beef, pork, lamb, & veal recipes like the Skillet Beef Burrito and the Thai-Style Pork Chops
• Traditional pasta recipes like the Baked Pasta with Parmesan Cream and the Chicken Alfredo Pasta
• Satisfying seafood recipes such as the Spicy Shrimp with White Beans and Tomatoes and the Easy Paella
• Tasty vegetarian recipes like the Moussaka with Mushrooms and Zucchini and the Eggplant, Chickpeas and Spinach Curry

All recipes come with a detailed list of ingredients, cooking and preparation times, number of servings, easy to follow step-by-step instructions, and nutritional information per serving.
