About this item
A gorgeous, full-color illustrated love letter to our most revered cookware - copper pots, cast-iron skillets, and classic stoneware - and the artistry and workmanship behind them, written by an expert craftsperson, perhaps the only woman coppersmith in America.Today, most people are concerned about eating seasonal, organic, and local food. But we don't think about how the choices we make about our pots, pans, and bowls can also enhance our meals and our lives. Sara Dahmen believes understanding the origins of the cookware we use to make our food is just as essential. Copper, Iron, and Clay, is a beautiful photographic history of our cooking tools and their fundamental uses in the modern kitchen, accompanied by recipes that showcase the best features of various cooking materials.
