This review is from: Great Meals Dutch Oven Style (Paperback)

This book is the most comprehensive and well written book on Dutch Oven Cooking I've ever seen or owned. Mr. Smith prepared/cooked each recipe contained in the book. As you can see on the cover and the pictures inside, Mr. Smith makes them look like the gourmet meals they really are. This book not only lists every ingredient for each recipe, and the exact times of baking, but also tells exactly how to place the coals to bake each recipe to perfection. If you like Dutch Oven cooking, you will love this book! It is well worth the time and money to own one. I highly recommend Great Meals Dutch Oven Style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Dutch Oven Cooking For Camp!, March 15, 2006

By 

Max Barlow "Maxie" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Meals Dutch Oven Style (Paperback)

I received a copy of the book Great Meals Dutch Oven Style for my birthday. It is an excellent book for the beginner and the experienced Dutch oven cook. The chapter on terminology provides excellent help in understanding Dutch ovens and accessories. The book explains how to care for a Dutch oven in a simple and practical way. And it works. No more rancid smelling Dutch ovens. This book is great on camping trips (it has greatly improved Boy Scout camp food) and for home use in your back yard. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Dutch oven cooking.
