A

s the early days of fall bring us a welcome break from

summer’s heat, we’re bringing you this incredible new issue

of Southern Cast Iron. Although I personally embrace the

motto of “endless summer,” all the scrumptious autumn

eats are just too tempting for me to resist.

We have a little bit of everything going on in this issue. Pay

homage to a seasonal delicacy with our stunning fi g feature starting

on page 71, and fi nd ways to enjoy apples, the most popular of the

harvest fruits, beginning on page 31.

Put your Dutch ovens and braisers to work with hearty one-pan

dinners starting on page 51, and break out your cast-iron chicken

fryer because we’ve taken fried chicken to the next level with crispy,

crunchy recipes starting on page 87.

This is the season to get out and experience the great outdoors,

too, but don’t forget to bring your cast iron along for the fun. We’ve

crafted a scrumptious fall harvest menu that’s cooked entirely over

an open fl ame (appetizers to dessert!) beginning on page 19, and

we’re also sharing helpful tips to make your live-fi re cooking safe

and successful on page 101.

Whether you’re holding on to summer’s end or are already

wearing your coziest sweaters, this issue will remind you of all the

reasons to love fall, bite after bite.
