Time to introduce another one of my hobbies. I love cooking in Dutch Ovens. I volunteer for the Boy Scouts and I teach these boys the art of cooking in these ovens. It’s a lost art and some people don’t even know how to cook in them. I was taught by one of the best and his tradition lives on through me. Pictured here are two main dishes, Easy Cheesy Meat and Potatoes (Top Left), Cowboy Stew (Bottom Center) and Bread (Top Right) I’ve done a few catering jobs which fed as many as 50 people. At last count I own 16 Dutch ovens and about a dozen different sizes of skillets.
