Scout's Outdoor Cookbook

It is a good practical cook book. I really liked it and actually tried a couple of recipes in camping environment. It is not perfect, I guess, nothing is, but to me it deserves 5 stars.

I have already made Buffalo Patrol Cobbler on page 251. It was wonderful!! If the only cobblers you have made are using a cake mix you are in for a treat. It will not look the same as a cobbler made with a cake mix.This cobbler uses corn muffin mixes. It definitely adds texture and a different flavor. It is delicious!! The recipes are categorized by breakfast, lunch, dinner, breads, snacks and desserts, and drinks. within the category they will have the method used grouped together. For instance all the dinner dutch oven recipes are grouped together. Each recipe has the servings and challenge level under the title. Then the story. Although not every recipe has that. It will give any home prep first. then the in camp prep. After that the required equipment is listed. then any tips these can be very helpful. At the side of the page is the ingredient list and any options. The introduction and the appendixes A-E are very helpful for the beginner and a good refresher for the more experienced. this is a great book. I can't wait to make another recipe. I got this for my personal use as well as for use by my AHG Troop. If you are also thinking about getting the Scout Dutch Oven Cookbook There are no repeat recipes that I can see.

I've owned a dutch cooker for donkey's years but have never been able to get the best out of it. I've used it on the stove or in the oven like a regular casserole but have always been curious about the apparent art of using it on the campfire. This book contains loads of original recipes with instructions on how to make them over the fire using a dutch oven, it's the best thing ever!It also has recipes for mud pie which is rapidly becoming a favourite with the cubs and the scouts, bread, pie and all sorts of other delicious fantasy foods including ice-cream. Some of the recipes call for American ingredients, but I'm sure they can be improvised to suit local cuisine...

Good resource for DO cooking. Lots of practical recipes.

Really good book for outdoors cooking although used some recipes for my slower cooler too.Results have been amazing.Look forward to using it for many years.
