The Camp Dutch Oven Cookbook: Easy 5-Ingredient Recipes to Eat Well in the Great Outdoors

Tasty good healthy food for camping

Just got this book. It's smaller about 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" square and about a 1/2" thick. Just leafing thru it quick the first 40 pages sort of describe Dutch oven cooking, has tips, tricks and hacks and also has a section on how to clean it and on seasoning it for new users. Explains number of charcoal briquettes to achieve certain temps.In addition to the regular index at the back of the book there is a recipe index for quick reference that looks like it will be nice when trying to find something specific. A quick guesstimate is there are around 80 recipes and some of the book chapters include breakfast; chili's, soups & stews; mains; sides & snacks; breads & rolls; and everyone's favorites... desserts. Also a quick conversion guide for US to metric measurements (eg. 1/3C = 79ml or 1/4C=4fl oz -60ml)I'm looking forward to looking thru the book and seeing what additional nuggets of info I might glean and also finding a few new recipes to try on our next camp out or backyard fire.

Overall, a great cookbook. My only complaints are 1. The book is much smaller than I thought. It has a lot of great recipes but the overall size is pretty small. 2. The only cooking directions are for charcoal fires. It would be nice if they had also included oven times and temps as it would make the recipes much more versatile.

Yummy recipes. Really like the chart on how many coals to use to achieve a certain temperature.

So excited to try these out!!

So far the recipes have been good

Some good information and recipes. But nothing spectacular. Great for a beginner though as it has all of the information to use a dutch oven with coals. That information is worth the purchase.

If you’re a camper or even an at home cook that likes one pot meals this cookbook has some good recipes. While it’s generally for cooking over an open fire or coals, I have made some of the meals on the stove or in the oven. I’m a fan of one pot, no mess meals.
