Dutch Cooking
It is a great collection of Dutch recipes. Dutch cooking is not a widely known cruisine and this book will introduce it to more people. Being part Dutch I really enjoyed it and used many of the recipes.

Interesting Reading - Problematic Recipes
C. Countess van Limburg Stirum has written an interesting cookbook discussing the food of the Netherlands.I'm part Dutch but know nothing about their food other than those cute windmill cookies you can buy at grocery stores.With relatively few Dutch cookbooks available, I was eager to purchase this book.Overall, the cookbook is interesting, and the author admirably describes the food and food-related customs of the country.However, her writing is choppy and difficult to understand at times.Admittedly, the writer's first language is probably not English, but the American publisher should have done more editing.Although no photos are included of the recipes, a number of the author's hand-drawn pictures are included throughout the cookbook.The pictures are fairly odd, portraying a rather old-fashioned Holland.The cover, for instance, depicts people eating raw herring in a scene that could be straight out of a Rembrandt painting.

The recipes are intriguing but often incomplete, expecting the reader to understand Dutch ingredients and techniques without much explanation.For example, a number of recipes call for boiled ham or beef, without any details.A large portion of the recipes also call for eggs or seafood, so non-fans of those foods may not enjoy this book.In sum, you'll probably really enjoy this cookbook if you're interested in learning more about Dutch food and culture.On the other hand, actually making the recipes may be problematic, as the recipes are written somewhat poorly. ...

I love it
I used this book so much I need to get another one. It has great food in it. I would really buy it and the price is right.

Made a great gift.
Bought this for my father along with a Lodge Dutch oven.
Made a great gift and the recipes looked extremely tempting.
I may just have to buy a copy for myself!

Good Recipes
This book of recipes worked well for my GS troop. I liked that it included oven temps so I could try dishes out before taking them camping.

Which one should I try first.
The whole process of from ordering to receiving went smoothly and very timely.The book has a great variety recipes and alot of new ones that I haven't seen in the Boy Scout world.

Camp food doesnt have to be dull
My husband and I are avid kayakers and campers.A friend of ours exposed us to the joy of dutch oven cooking about 10 years ago and the first meal we had was lasagne- which was AWESOME!When you're camping every weekend from Aril to October you get sick of the tradional beans, chili, hot dogs, cornbread, etc.This book really is a must have for those who want to really enjoy cooking outdoors!Fresh bread & rolls, breakfast casseroles, cabbage rolls, and poached pears...come on--this book is great for the wilderness foodies out there.Best of all, because it's specific on the number of coals needed and the temperatures you're cooking with, it makes creating your own recipes so easy.We do alot of the prep work at home (mixing the dry ingredients in ziplocks & labeling them with the measurements of the other items we need to add, really saves us a lot of time.I highly recommend it to anyone, new or experienced, who actually wants to enjoy meals made over a fire. ...

Okay...needs more recipes
I was a bit disappointed by this book.There wasn't a great variety of recipes and most were geared to outdoor cooking.I'll be looking for another cookbook.

The start of a love affair: this book, dutch ovens and me
15 years ago I came across this book. Since then I and my family have enjoyed dozens of meals cooked in dutch ovens, both while camping and at home. All of my dutch oven cooking was not from this book, but this book taught me how. I was a complete novice. I didn't even know what a dutch oven was. Now I'm called on for every local block party in Mount Prospect, Illinois to cook my famouns secret cobbler recipies. Well they are all from this book. Great for beginners!

A very good Dutch oven cook book with about 50 recipes
A good inrtoduction on preparing and cooking with a Dutch oven on charcoal.There is a section on Dutch oven tools that has good ideas but leaves out a charcoal starter which I use all the time. The book alsoincludes a lot of recipes and good ideas. ... Read more

Great recipes
I borrowed this book from my son's boy scout troopto try and pick out a few recipes for family camping.Nearly everything in the book sounded great so I bought my own copy.

Good book - great recipes! Could use some proofreading.
Well written book, organized in a very usable style, I love the recipes and "margin tips" included by the author. Both this book and Dick's later book "Dutch Oven Entertaining" have some glaring (sometimes entertaining) typos that distract a little from a great work. They're both still well worth the price! ...

Dutch cooking
Dutch home cooking is simple and easy.Gourmet cooking is left to other cultures.The recipes in this cookbook are authentic.The book was published in England shortly after WWII before we became aware of what a lot of saturated fat will do to your health.I am Dutch and I like this cookbook because it helps me to convert my Dutch recipes to American availability.Dutch butchers cut meat differently than what is available in the U.S., so quite often it is difficult to know what meat to buy.I wish I had been able to get this cookbook when I came to the U.S. ...
