These are the ones I've recently looked over. But I have not tried there recipes. I had two links whose recipes I have tried but unfortunately I only have one of them the other link has been lost. http://campfirecafetv.com/ - this has an awesome applesauce cake. If you have questions you can call their 800 # and they are very happy to explain things and help. They were very nice! The next link is to a Dutch Oven Shop Site sponsored by Cee Dup. He is a very experience Dutch Oven Chef/Cook. He's had I think over 30 years of experience. He used to have a show on PBS and he is who I learned to cook in a Dutch Oven from. He is really, really good at teaching the Dutch Oven Cooking methods with out going to fast or getting confusing. He has a vast amount of different recipes. Unfortunately you will have to buy his cookbook to get them. He's gone commercial you might say. But if any ones cookbook is worth buying in my experience it would be his. http://www.ceedubs.com/ Well I hope this is of some help. I sure there are others out there you might have more or even better links. But I hope these help. Dutch Oven Cooking isn't as complicated as it might look. I've had a lot of fun making pork roast, applesauce cake, and scalloped potatoes in my back yard with nothing but hot coals and a little bit of sweat and patience. I think it's a lot of fun. Hope you have fun too!
