What is a Dutch Oven Gathering?

Dutch Oven Cooks of all skill levels can join in. A Dutch Oven Gathering also passes down the traditions of Dutch Oven Cooking that helped make this country great.

To participate in a Dutch Oven Gathering all you need is your pots, a fire pan or cook table and a few recipes. The cook usually prepares two or three dishes from scratch: a Main Dish, a Side Dish, a Bread or a Dessert. The dishes are cooked in a Dutch Oven fueled by charcoals. A Dutch Oven Gathering is usually free and the only cost is the food you bring to cook and share.

Most gathering will have a door prize and you will get an entry for every dish you make (usually 3 maximum). A start and finish time is established and everyone begins cooking thier dishes to meet that time. Then all dishes are brought to a central area for all the participants and guest to enjoy.
