My dad’s old cast-iron skillet was my first cooking mentor—he’d hand it to me at six years old, saying, ‘Don’t burn it, and don’t be afraid to get grease on your hands.’ That skillet’s still in my kitchen, now holding everything from weeknight stir-fries to holiday roasts.

If you’re here, you’re probably the kind of cook who knows the difference between a meal and a memory—and that’s exactly what I’m aiming for.
