About Dutch Oven Daddy:

Ned slowly fell in love with cast iron cooking after satisfying his mother-in-law’s need of hearty meals while recovering from a foot injury. She had previously gifted Ned with a cast iron skillet, so he put it to use, cooking several meals a week for her. To keep track of what he was making each week, Ned started cataloging his recipes through the Dutch Oven Daddy blog.

Now, Ned still enjoys cooking and everything cast iron.
