The kind that if someone was to submit a recipe that mentioned sushi, they would be hanged at sunrise. This one is one of my newest entries and already becoming one of my favorites. Most of my others cover a broad spectrum of cooking like most cookbooks do. That is side dishes, deserts, vegetarian dishes and so on. This one sticks to its guns in specializing in dutch oven meals.

I don't usually buy cookbooks any more becuase you can usually find any recipe you want on the web and you don't have to house the cookbooks. I saw this cookbook in a store one day and there were so many great recipes and good information that I bought it for my husband as a gift. It is the best collection of information on dutch oven cooking and recipes I have ever seen and I own a number of dutch oven cook books already. It has many great recipes and even has a recipe for dutch oven ice cream, no kidding. It is just really great. I would reccommend this book to beginners as well as seasoned cooks (no pun intended).

This book is a great collection of easy to read and easy to follow directions. Some of the recipes might be over the head of the first time dutch oven user but cooking with a dutch oven is so easy and the directions so well written that you will be cooking the most complex recipes in no time.

I have over 25 years experience in the Boy Scouts of America and have been dutch oven cooking for almost as long.
