5.0 out of 5 stars Best ever cookbook!, August 1, 2001

This review is from: Cee Dub's Dutch Oven and Other Camp Cookin' (Paperback)

Never have I laughed so much as I did reading this cookbook. The stories are great and the recipes are even better. I used this book extensively while camping this year and it was the first time I ever used a DO(dutch oven). When my very picky middle daughter started looking for seconds and thirds at our meals, I knew I had learned a good thing. If anyone is just starting out or even is already using a dutch oven, this book is a must have! (Try the blackberry dump cake, I had'em licking out the dutchy!!) You will enjoy and use this book again and again!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is EXCELLENT!, May 29, 2000

This review is from: Cee Dub's Dutch Oven and Other Camp Cookin' (Paperback)

While not being much of a cook myself, I have found this book to be truly enlightening. (It helps to have a good cookbook for those of us who aren't blessed with the gifts of Cee Dub) It is not only filled with all kinds of great recipies, but they are organized in a way that makes it easy to find something interesting to make... whether cooking in the back yard or out camping with the whole family. I know that this book will be one that gets USED! Plus, it is full of great stories from an incredible person. I have to admit that this is the first cook book that I have been able to sit down and read for enjoyment as well as MUST HAVE Dutch Oven tips and recipies. A must have for the outdoorsman!

This review is from: Cee Dub's Dutch Oven and Other Camp Cookin' (Paperback)

I havn't had the opertunity to try the recipes yet but this cookbook is a great read. The recipes all look basic enough with a good mix of simple supermarket ingrediants as well as wild game recipes. I have about a 1/2 dozen dutch oven cookbooks and these are by far the best read so far. Unfortunatly despite the listing this is *not* spiral bound and wont stay open while cooking hands free. The second book, "more Cee dub's Dutch Oven and other camp cookin" is still spiral bound.
