This is a vintage cast iron cooking cookbook from 1969, published in Concord, California by Nitty Gritty Productions. It’s a practical, old-school guide to getting the most from cast iron—plus recipes built around classic pieces like the Dutch oven, skillet, griddle, and even a muffin pan.

Along the way, it includes “how to season” and “how to reseason” guidance, so it’s useful even if you’re just restoring a thrifted pan. Photo-verified, complete, and ready to cook (or collect).

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
