A Great Cookbook

I don’t usually do book reports, but I got this book at the Lodge store, and it is very good. “The Scout’s Outdoor Cookbook” by Christine and Tim Connors is a 350 page cookbook. The authors took recipes from numbers of recipes from Boy and Girl Scouters for cooking items in a Dutch oven, pie iron, cook pot, or in aluminum foil. The book is divided into breakfast, lunch, dinner, breads, drinks, snacks and deserts. Each recipe indicates skill level, things you will need (cook pot, Dutch oven...), ingredients, some tips, and how many people can be served. Most recipes are patrol sized.

This is a great book to keep in your “Chuck Box” or to use to make your menu for an up coming event. Some recipes are pretty fancy but most are foods your troop, or pack mates would enjoy.
