Cooking with the Sisters

in 2010, author Irene rawlings introduced us to the Sisters on the Fly, a group of adventurous women who refurbish vintage trailers and travel around the country to camp, fly fish and, of course, eat. In her new book, Cast-Iron Cooking with Sisters on the Fly (Andrews McMeel Publishing), Rawlings shares a fun collection of easy recipes using cast-iron pots, pans and Dutch ovens, as well as lots of tips for restoring vintage cast iron.“Anything you can cook in a slow cooker, you can cook in a Dutch oven,” says Rawlings, who includes instructions for making the recipes in a kitchen as well as in the great outdoors. “Cast-iron cooking is becoming popular again. We’re finding our mothers’ old Dutch ovens, scrubbing off the rust, and discovering that it’s a wonderful way to cook. You just set it on the campfire in the morning, and when you get back from fishing, dinner is ready.”In 2010, author Irene rawlings introduced us to the Sisters on the Fly, a group of adventurous women who refurbish vintage trailers and travel around the country to camp, fly fish and, of course, eat.
