Hi, we are Nate and Laura Ascher – Founders of Cast Iron Skillet Cooking.
Thank you for joining us here in our cozy corner of the web, where cooking is not just about recipes but about creating experiences that linger long after the last bite.
We’re Nate and Laura, and we invite you into our kitchen, which is brimming with sizzling ideas and ironclad flavors.
Welcome to our kitchen
We created this space as a place to share recipes that you, your family, and your friends will not only love but want to prepare over and over.
We believe that there is, in fact, a right way and a wrong way to cook a steak, and anything is worth trying at least once. 🙂
Over 15 years and countless dishes later, we’ve honed our skills, especially with cast iron skillets and Dutch ovens, proving that a modest kitchen is no barrier to gourmet pursuits. Our vision? Share irresistible recipes that you’ll yearn to recreate time and time again.
Family-Friendly Yet Fancy
While our family life has steered us towards simpler, quicker meals, be assured that romantic date nights are still on the menu. Whether it’s an easy weekday dinner or an indulgent feast, our digital cookbook offers a trove of choices for every palate – adored by families and approved by critics (aka our beloved community).
A Hub of Curated Recipes
Since starting our website in 2021, we’ve been busy whisking, frying, and baking our way to over 200 five-star recipes, each celebrated by home chefs and pinned across Pinterest. And now, infused with practicality for fellow busy bees, our blog serves up delicious, easy-to-follow recipes perfect for any size gathering.
Your Go-To Resource
But we are more than a recipe site. As cast iron cooking experts, we guide you through preserving these kitchen heirlooms. Our tips on maintenance and care will ensure your cookware stands the test of time and taste.

Recipes you will find here:
- Desserts: Of course, we start with desserts! If throwing the ingredients together is your thing, then I suggest a dump cake. We also have our fair share of chocolates, including double chocolate brownies and a deep-dish chocolate chip cookie.
- Breakfasts: From cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and waffles to quiche, breakfast casseroles, and french toast, there is a recipe here for everyone.
- Easy Bites: On more than one occasion, I have thrown together egg rolls, pizza rolls or fried up my favorite cinnamon sugar donuts for a midnight snack. I can’t say I am proud of it, but I have done it.
- Comfort Foods: Between our ground pork chili, Pikes Peak roast, and my personal favorite, goulash, there is a hot meal ready and waiting for you.
- All Things Steak: We have steaks for every budget and every occasion. These bottom round steaks are always a hit, along with our slow-cooked dutch oven round steaks. But it doesn’t stop there. Fajitas anyone? If so, how about a skirt steak? Is it just the two of you? Perhaps a picanha steak, ribeye, or our favorite reverse seared T-bone?
- Simply Venison: Searching for tried and true venison recipes? Try our backstrap with a homemade dry rub, venison tenderloin, venison stew, roast. I could go on, but I probably shouldn’t.
