Summary: Disappointing!
Review: A good cook book and meal-planner for the novice dutch oven and/or camping cook. Includes many tips for the beginner in outdoors dutch oven cooking. However, needs explanation of some of the ingredients, 'Rhodes Rolls'? 'Texas Bake & Serves'? These are apparently regional pre-made frozen-bread items, available only out West. Also the recipe for chocolate cake on pg 130 doesn't include any chocolate/cocoa? Both of the above are very minor complaints (whatever happened to adventures in cooking) about an otherwise excellant outdoors cook book.

Summary: Best cook book I've owned
Review: I love this cook book. It has helped me learn how to use a dutch oven and has the best recipes I have used. I use this cookbook almost daily in my own oven and everything I have tried is delicious! I would recomend this cookbook to anyone who is looking to dutch oven. It will be the only cookbook you will need from now on. The only other I have found like it is book 2. They are the best cookbooks I have used!

Summary: Informative and helpful
Review: I loved this book! The tips section alone was worth the price of the book, especially for a novice like myself. These people really know what they are talking about. I love having a book that can lays open or fold back - smart idea to have it spiral bound. Its good to know I can try the receipes at home and know the ones I like best before we go camping. I can't wait to try the primitive cooking - so few things can be cooked over an open fire. All in all a great and valuable book.

Summary: Not for beginners
Review: While full of recipes, this book is very disorganized. For example, Beef Stew (2 different versions) appears several pages apart. Chicken soup, Chicken Supreme Soup; and a Chicken and Egg soup, while ALL are chicken soups, they are separated by several pages as well. Instructions like "dump in 1 pkg yellow cake mix" doesn't say if you are to pour in the dry cake mix or if you are to mix it into a batter form before putting it in. Somehow I think things like that would make a difference. Even the instruction for popcorn has the phrase "...put in popcorn, not too much!!" How are we to know how much is too much? Maybe with more experience, this would all make sense. That's what I'm looking for in a book. To answer my questions, not leave me guessing. This is not a book for a first time outdoor chef.
