Product Description
Today’s busy lifestyles make it impractical to plan the kind of multicourse feasts one might wish. An easy and exciting solution is the venerable dutch oven pot. In this follow-up to their successful The Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook, Sharon Kramis and Julie Kramis Hearne show off the many virtues of this kitchen essential. The dutch oven excels at everything from simmering to baking, working equally well on the stovetop and in the oven. The book begins with an informative history of the pot, along with a discussion of various cooking methods. From there it moves into such mouthwatering dishes as Slow Cooked Pork with Smoky Barbeque Sauce and Slaw, Smothered Chicken with Sauteed Morels, Fresh Vegetable Estouffade, Northwest Bouillabaisse, and Ms. Kate’s Spoon Bread. Whether using a well-used and blackened garage-sale find, or the latest celery-green item from La Creuset, contemporary chefs can satisfy the most exacting palates with this entertaining cookbook.

 deceitful scam October 11, 2008

This book has little to do with dutch oven cookery. Because one company calls their cast iron flat bottomed pot a "dutch Oven" (the real dutch oven they call a camp oven) The authors gathered together a group of toney recipes that could be cooked in any pot and foist it off as "The Dutch oven cookbook" The same scheme is applied to their companion book "The cast iron skillet. THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT EITHER AUTHOR UNDERSTANDS THE UNIQUENESS OF THESE UTENSILS.

Good book , but why are almost all the recipes in 2 hours or less ? I thought it was all about "SLOW COOKING" for hours to get those intense flavors out there! If you want qiuck , this is for you . I prefer long slow cooking for 8-9 hours and enjoy the rewards of infused flavor .Pat Simmons

Through their creativity, the authors have brought the old familiar Dutch Oven of Boy Scout and camping days into a modern era. They show how the "campfire mainstay" Dutch Oven is also "the most versatile pot" in today's kitchen. The recipes are creative and they help the cook to create very tasty dishes. This is well worth the purchase price.

There is a recipe in this book for just about every occasion. Most recipes are pretty simple with easily found ingredients. I've used several already (delicious!!) and would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys cooking in a dutch oven. If you don't have a dutch oven...I suggest you buy one so you don't miss out on one of the best pots you can have in your kitchen! All of the recipes are written for a 5 1/2 qt., so for those of you who are shopping for a good all around size, a 5 1/2 would be a good choice. Enjoy!
 Annoyingly poor editing and proofreading January 26, 2008

We sure agree with the other comment about lousy editing. All three of the recipes that we tried had steps omitted. In the Wild Mushroom Soup you reconstitute the dried mushrooms, and add their water, but never actually put the mushrooms in.
In the introduction, they stress to never run the stovetop heat above medium on an enameled dutch oven, but then the recipe says "bring to boil over medium-high heat.
There are some recipes that look good, but we'll double-check them on the Internet before trying them. We were really hoping this would be a great cookbook, but are very disappointed with it. We'll shopping for a replacement.
