The Perfect Cast Iron and Outdoor Cooking Companion
I love this book. A colleague had an older edition so when this, the 3rd edition came out, I scooped it up right away.It's extremely well-written, and the presentation is excellent. Beautiful pictures and while it is paperback, it's pretty rugged so it will take some punishment if you're taking it out on a trip.The author starts with some background and history on cast iron and cooking with it. It's also peppered with little bits of information that you will find useful such as a trick for keeping mosquitos away.There is an excellent assortment of recipes inside. Each of which is laid out clearly and easy to follow. I've made a couple of these previously and I have not been disappointed. You'll get a sense for how many each recipe will feed along with the ideal device to cook it in.Whether you're new to the world of cast iron cooking or an expert looking for some new ideas, this book will make an excellent addition to your library.

LOVE this book!
I checked this book out of my library and marked more than 15 recipes that sounded really good. I then made three of the recipes in the book and they all turned out great. At that point, I ordered the book on Amazon and also bought one for my brother-in-law at the same time...he loved it!

Great book for scouts and others
This an excellent cookbook for anyone with cast iron cookware in their collection. We borrowed a copy from our library. For scouting meals and to advance our recipes. The only frustrating thing is Amazon prime has issues with delivering this book. I got a quicker copy on EBay and still waiting for my 2 copies for almost 3 weeks. Book. *****. Vendor *

It depends on what you want
This is a godsend for some people but I was looking for a different book.I am desperately looking for a few recipes that my family will actually eat. I am willing to chop, brown, sear, ... go through a lot of trouble to do it. Once I read, ... can of cream of chicken soup, I'm done. I'm not super organic but I avoid pre-packaged seasonings.To me, Dutch Oven means ... sear and then simmer at an extremely controlled heat, not use frozen vegetables, store bought seasonings, soup.My big beef w/amazon is that they do not show the TOC. I get that they cannot show the recipes but at least show us the mix of recipes.

My Only Complaint is the recipes are for BIG MEALS
If you are making food for two or three people, this book probably isn't for you. You will spend half the time converting all the ingredients into different amounts and the other half cooking. As long as you are cooking for a family of 4 that likes to EAT, this is an amazing book. Lots of great recipes.

Love this book!
I started out marking recipe pages with post it tabs. I can't wait to try everything in this book. I like having photos to see what food will look like, directions are clear and ingredients are easy to find. This book goes in the trailer every time we camp!

Wonderful book
This is a fantastic book, if you are into just cast iron cooking in general. I was looking for something else. However, I do have an enamel cast iron pot I have yet to use. My husband has an outdoor pot with feet. Great book for those.
