Casseroles, veggies, seafood, soups I am proud of my cast iron collection. My father gave it to me, and I keep it seasoned and in good condition. I love to make roux in my large cast iron skillet. I could not live without my George Forman grill, my KitchenAid stand mixer, my steamer, or my Williams-Sonoma recipe organizer. My husband and I cook together so each and every time we produce a dish we can share with others and be proud of, I consider that a triumph. My meringues are true tragedies. They usually look like frisbees and consequently get thrown out the door into the yard (like a frisbee).
