Welcome to Cooking-Outdoors.com.

Cooking outdoors is not a new phenomena, nor will Cooking-Outdoors try to reinvented the process. I have been cooking outdoors for many years and enjoy trying to learn new techniques or what I like to call “adventures”. I originally learned to cook outdoors by watching my Dad when I was a teenager, he was a spit cooker. He would marinate some meat, cut it into cubes and thread them on a spit to cook over the fire. I was hooked! 

I am an avid Dutch oven cook and the founder of C.C.D.O.A.  ”Central California Dutch Oven Adventures” www.ccdoa.webs.com. My collection of black pots seems to grow every year. I have been featured in the “Oakdale Leader” and the “Sonora Union Democrat” .

I have done many Dutch oven cooking demonstrations as well as judging Dutch oven competitions, including judging the 2010 World Championship Dutch oven cook-offs in Sandy, Utah.

Cooking over an open fire is one of my personal favorites, the challenge, smell, taste and of course the rewards are what makes this a surprise every time. I will be sharing this adventure with you on a regular basis.Product review, recipe and a technique are the goals for the weekly additions to the blog.

I won’t be teaching anyone how to get rich but I bet I can make you just a little bit happier if you stick around and share my many adventures cooking outdoors……
