About the Author
Matt Pelton grew up in Levan, Utah. This small community in central Utah is an ideal setting to pursue a passion for hunting. Matt was fascinated with wild game from the time he was a small child. He spent many hours watching his father butcher deer and elk, and Matt was always there to help cook. Determined to break out of the mold and find out all there is to know about cooking wild game, he has worked hard to hone his cooking skills during the past ten years. Matt now resides in Provo, Utah, with his wife, Katie, and their children Megan, five, and Tristan, three. When he isn t working, Matt can be found in the mountains hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Matt s children have already developed a passion for hunting and the outdoors, watching hunting shows with their daddy and helping to prepare dinner almost every night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical Dutch oven cookbook, December 18, 2008

By	John G. Foster "I live outdoors" (Duchesne, UT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a lot of Dutch oven cookbooks and what surprised me about this one is the variety of untypical recipes -curries, asian foods, italian dishes, lots of things that sound really adventurous. Glad I bought it. I recommend it highly!

I purchased this book for my son to give to him with a cast iron Dutch Oven. There are a wide variety of recipes with simple, easy to follow instructions. Looking forward to enjoying one of these recipes from the Dutch Oven. My son was excited about the gift!
