Dutch Oven - Kochen über offenem Feuer

For some years now, the Dutch Oven has been established in the grill and barbecue scene, and cooking with the "black pots" has taken on a cult following. The Dutch Oven is more than just a cast-iron cooking pot. It is a symbol for the Wild West, for freedom and adventure, for good food around the campfire, and life in nature.

In this book you will find many recipes which show you how you can conjure up juicy roasts, nourishing stews or crusty bread using the Dutch Oven. Additionally, with these simple instructions, desserts, typical bean dishes or casseroles and gratins are easy to make - even for beginners.

Author Carsten Bothe brought the Dutch Oven to Germany more than ten years ago. He is an expert on cooking around the campfire, and conducts many courses on the topic.
