Does anyone have any recommendations for a book on dutch oven cooking.
I can light charcoal but have never touched a dutch oven. Something that covered the use and care would be nice.


Thanks

Robert

Robert,

This isn't exactly a book but... http://papadutch.home.comcast.net/dutch-oven-recipes.htm
Lots of great dutch oven info....

1) Cee Dubs Dutch Oven Cookin' by C.W. "Butch" Welch.

2) Lovin' Dutch Ovens by Joan S. Larsen.

Scrounge around Barnes & Noble in the cooking section. There is a good selection there. It's fun to get into cookin and people are amazed at what you can make in a D.O. Then you can tell them about your camper and say, "Yeah, I made that, too!".

...I saw one at cabelas.com along with their cast iron

And rightfully so. I was gonna buy a set just like that, but I couldn't afford a new tow rig to pull it.

Try www.campfirecafe.com He's gotsome good recipes along with a bunch accesories...

Cee Dub is good too.

This is a great site. It is the International Dutch Oven Society. Lot o' recipes on the forum including marinated kangaroo for our Aussie friends. I have accessed it for terrific chicken recipes and you do not have to join to get some wonderful info.

Robert,
Mike B. is who I'd talk too about DOs...

y'all cannot go wrong starting with this:



I have personally eaten sourdough biscuits with homemade lick and also had cobbler from these gentlemen's wagon at the 1996 national cowboy symposium chuckwagon cooking school, and how they take care of their ovens (these gentlemen were/are working wagon cooks, not contest cooks; they do this for a living on real West Texas ranches) and the luscious victuals that come out of those ovens will amaze you.

now I apologize if anyone thinks I am trying to be a know it all or start an argument; but the thread has been here awhile and I saw no one had mentioned this yet.

I found the Log Cabin Dutch oven cook book to be my favorite.

The recipies are easy to make while camping. ( not too many ingredients)
Every thing I have made so far tastes great .

The IDOS have cook books. Archive Cook Book Vol 1 ($25), 2005 IDOS World Championship Cook-Off Recipe Book ($12) and 5 Year Taste Of Dutch ($20). You can go to IDOS.com or get ahold of their news letter from Fall 2005. We DO at home to experment with recipes and see what they taste like and cooking times, etc.
Good luck on your cooking.

Hi Robert,

Dutch Ovens go with teardrops like apple pie and ice cream. If you want a quick primer before you get into some of the more in-depth reading, I have a Dutch Oven 101 page on my website. I've not gotten around to putting recipes up, but I do tell a bit about seasoning, basic equipment, coal placement and such.

Some of my favorite dutch oven cookbooks are

World Championship Dutch Oven Cookbook, Watkins Printing, Logan, Utah

Cee Dub's Ethnic & Regional Dutch Oven Cookin', C.W. "Butch" Welch, Back Country Press, Grangeville, Idaho

Dutch Oven and Outdoor Cooking, Larry and Jeanie Walker, WH Publishing, American Fork, Utah (www.mydutchoven.com)

Great Meals Dutch Oven Style, Dale Smith, Caxton Press, Caldwell, Idaho

Best of the Best From Idaho Cookbook, Quail Ridge Press, Brandon, Mississippi

As you can tell, I tend to collect cookbooks. I get my best recipes off the Net, though.
