When I go camping I don't take my oven with me, but this writer does. To many recipes call for cooking the dishes in an oven. I was looking for something a little more rustic, like the Dutch Oven.

Camping Cuisine is the cookbook I use the most - even at home. It has many easy recipes for foods that I eat all the time. I also like the layout of the book. It not only has a lot of good recipes, but it has many ideas for camping that keep the kids entertained. I appreciate the RV section because I like to prepare some of my meals before I leave. I highly recomend this book!

We found this book useless for camping purposes. It is NOT practical, especially for the avid camper, to have access to an oven nor a teaspoon of "Kitchen Bouquet" (pg. 85). As with all camping chores, simple is best, and this book falls far short of simple. Many of these recipes are just too elaborate and are more appropriate for indoor cooking. We will be sticking to our foil wraps.

I would agree with the prior comments that this seems like a regular cookbook instead of one geared towards camping. Many recipes call for baking at 350 for 30 minutes or even a blender!
