This binder is put together in a simple to follow format. There is section on the basics with excellent information on temperature and placement of briquets. The recipes are all easy to follow and good meals, nothing gourmet with strange or hard to find ingredients. Many outside of the "just put a roast in" type. Great breads and desserts too! Perfect for any dutch oven owner, especially a family or scout troop looking for one book with several good recipes.

This is an excellent book for those starting out in "D.O." cooking because unlike other books, it actually explains how to set the temperature -- i.e. how many briquets to use and where to place them. And, you can easily copy and laminate the recipes you want to use in camp thanks to the handy binder format. There are books out there with better recipes (sorry, recipes calling for Sprite are scary), but the reality is once you know HOW to cook with a DO, you can pretty much use any of your favorite recipes. i recently picked up "Classic Homemade Casseroles" at a used book store; it has more tempting ideas than this book.
