If you have ever been camping-or even thought about going camping-chances are that you have a mental image of campfire cuisine. Juicy grilled hotdogs and gooey toasted marshmallows, right? But you may also be wondering if that's all there is because, after several days in the wilderness, you'll probably be craving something a little more nutritious, diverse, and flavorful. The good news is that your culinary options at the campsite aren't as limited as many people assume. There are many different outdoor cooking options to explore, and the Dutch oven (or cast iron cooking, as it's also called) is one of the best.
Dutch ovens have been around for hundreds of years. In fact, they were the primary means of cooking for European settlers of North America. Their sturdiness and durability made them ideal for cooking out in the elements, but the true beauty of cast iron Dutch oven cooking is the even heat distribution, which makes preparing even the most finicky of dishes a breeze. With your Dutch oven, you will be able to create an incredible range of one-pot meals from breakfast to desserts.
Within the pages of this cookbook you will find everything that you need to expertly craft an array of campfire Dutch oven dishes.
