Some good-sounding recipes, but nothing I don't have already in other cookbooks.

I'd be OK with the redundancy, but this book has too many errors. There are omissions of ingredients and steps. Ingredients are listed that never get mentioned again in the instructions (or in the instructions that aren't listed in the ingredient list). There are instructions to remove ingredients at certain points that are then never mentioned again -- and while it obvious that they should be put back into the pot after the next step or two are completed, a well-written recipe says that.

The author is described in the bio as a blogger and recipe developer. Had I known this was written by a blogger, I'd have skipped the book completely because I find most food bloggers don't have much to say that is original. There's just too many of them copying each other. As for recipe developer, I guess anyone can call themselves anything, but if this is an example of her best work, I'm not impressed. Fortunately, the ebook was very cheap on Amazon, so I'm only out a couple dollars and some time. If I'd paid full price for this, I'd be asking Amazon for a refund.

Missing a dozen pages

How can I review with so many missing pages. Why sell something incomplete. Don't buy. Will just frustrate you. Bad deal

I was given a copy of Dutch Oven Obsession by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.




I remember cooking with my mother and her old cast iron dutch oven. When I moved out I purchased my own. Later I upgraded to an enamel coated one, but kept as still use the cast iron one. This versatile pot really can cook just about anything. No kitchen should be without one. Dutch Oven Obsession is cookbook that gives you the opportunity to learn many different recipes for everything from breakfast (Portabello Mushroom Egg Bake on page 30 - a new favorite) side dishes for dinner (Barbeque Baked Beans on page 49) Even Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken on page 137 for a picnic, lunch or dinner. Top the meal off with Cinnamon Orange Rolls on page 178. There are even some vegetarian dishes such as the recently popular Ratatouille on page 92.




If you have no experience with Dutch Ovens do not worry. Robin Donovan gives a brief history of the pot, how to care for them and dozens of easy to create recipes that will bring a smile to the face of anyone eating them. My rating is 5 out of 5 Stars.

I read the entire book before I started any of the recipes. I learned a lot. There are many recipes that I want to make. They mostly have simple ingredients that I could find at my local supermarket. Some recipes called for a special pots called "cocottes". I wish the author would have given directions for those recipes and for a regular Dutch oven also. Now I am ready to start cooking.

Delicious recipes

Creative recipes. Looking forward to many cozy dinners from this cookbook. Several recipes were bookmarked. Easy to follow instructions. I love my Dutch ovens.

I have many instruments in the kitchen such as steamers, crockpots, pressure cookers and such, but this book has reignited my inspiration for the Dutch Oven or Cocotte as the French say. I have a particular love and curiosity for one pot meals so this will definitely be a staple in my vast cookbook collection. Im taken by the limitless versatility. From baking bread to frying, you're sure to find plenty of uses between the 100+ easily followed recipies. The first chapter covers history, options and tips while the remaining chapters cover the variety of recipes such as breakfast and desserts. I would recommend this to anyone looking for one pot inspiration.
I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.
