Many of you know that I write a regular health and healing column in the awesome, nationally acclaimed organic lifestyle magazine MaryJane's Farm. 

What you may not know is that MaryJane is one of the people who inspired me from the very beginning... empowering me to be a woman who gets outside and gets dirty daily, yet does it in style.  Endlessly inspiring and empowering, I've yet to read a book or magazine article by MaryJane that didn't make me want to run outside and live in deeper connection with nature.

Cast Iron Kitchen is one of MaryJane's fabulous collection of hard cover, keepsake books, and she personally autographs each book I carry.  

Cast Iron Kitchen is filled with cast iron secrets and recipes that creates home cooked food with only a beloved cast-iron skillet.  Not only is cast iron cheaper than other cookware (that won't last through generations like cast iron cookware will,) but best of all -- it’s non-toxic. 

From Asparagus and Mushroom Quiche with Potato Crust to Chicken and Biscuit Skillet Pie to Ham Dinner on the Half Peel to Rhubarb-Raspberry Pandowdy, MaryJane’s unpretentious recipes for breads, breakfasts, soups, casseroles, main dishes, and pies and other desserts that include step-by-step instructions accompanied by beautiful color photography will make you feel as if you were sitting with her in her farmhouse kitchen in the outback of Idaho.

Preparing meals in this tried-and-true cookware just got easier with MaryJane’s farmhouse recipes and cooking tips that include her unique take on cast-iron cookware care.

MaryJane is an amazing woman (read her incredible life story here) and her revolutionary fermentation techniques will support your innate health way in ways that I whole-heartedly endorse.
